Griffiths given Champions League ban over Linfield incident
UEFA have confirmed a one-match Champions League ban has been handed to Celtic forward Leigh Griffiths.
Celtic forward Leigh Griffiths has been given a one-match Champions League ban for provoking Linfield fans after his team's 2-0 win at Windsor Park last week.
Brendan Rodgers' men secured a straightforward victory in the first leg of the Champions League second-round qualifier in a game marred by spectators throwing missiles at Celtic players.
Griffiths was booked following one such incident, having complained to referee Alejandro Hernandez about a bottle being thrown in his direction as he prepared to take a corner.
After the final whistle, the Scotland international tied a Celtic scarf to one of the goalposts.
UEFA has confirmed Griffiths will be banned for the first leg of Celtic's next Champions League tie against Rosenborg as they seek to reach the group stage of the competition, while the club will be fined €4,500.
Linfield, meanwhile, have been given a partial stadium closure for their next European fixture and a fine of €10,000 as their punishment for the crowd disorder at the game.
UEFA have also handed out fresh charges to Celtic following their 4-0 second-leg victory against Linfield on Wednesday, in which Sinclair struck a brace.
The charges against Celtic include the displaying of illicit banners at Parkhead, stairways being blocked during the tie and a kit infringement, with the case to be dealt with on July 28.
