Pictures emerging on social media show one fan trying to hold back another fan whilst other watch the events unfold.
Anderlecht warned Celtic fans they could be arrested if they travel and do not have tickets for the big game.
One fan Noah Brown responded to the images by saying: "I would just like to say that as a Celtic fan I don't condone this either, and this doesn't fairly represent our club or us fans at all. Disgusting."
Other videos show Celtic fans in celebratory mood as they congregate around Brussels and in one train station.
On the pitch the Hoops delighted fans with a 3-0 victory over the Belgian side.
And fans were heard singing jubilantly well after the final whistle at the Constant Vanden Stock Stadium.
