Uefa ban Griffiths for one match

Leigh Griffiths has been suspended for the first leg of Celtic’s Champions League third qualifying-round clash against Rosenborg after Uefa took action against the striker and the club.

Griffiths received a onematch ban for “provoking supporters” at the end of their win over Linfield, who have been hit with a partial closure of their stadium for their next European game after the striker was pelted with missiles, in the first leg of the previous round.

Celtic have also been sanctioned with three more disciplinary charges including the displaying of an alleged “illicit banner” by fans during the second leg.

Griffiths will now sit out the visit of the Norwegian champions next Wednesday after Celtic booked their place in the third qualifying round with a 6-0aggregate victory.

The Scotland striker had been controversially booked at Windsor Park after lifting a glass bottle off the park after being targeted with a string of missiles while attempting to take a corner.

That booking has contributed to a fine of $4,500 (£4,037) for Celtic after an improper conduct charge was automatically triggered when they received five yellow cards in the game.

Uefa has also ordered the partial closure of Windsor Park for one European game.

Linfield were also fined $10,000 after being charged with two offences.
