UEFA announces that it has handed a one-match ban to Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths after he was deemed to have provoked Linfield fans in a Champions League fixture.

Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths has been handed a one-match ban by UEFA for provoking supporters of Linfield.

In the first leg of their Champions League tie in Ireland, Griffiths tied a Celtic scarf to a goalpost, a move which went against UEFA regulations.

The governing body soon revealed that the Scottish international had been charged for the incident, and he has subsequently been suspended for the first leg of their third qualifying round tie with Rosenborg.

The Glasgow giants play host to the Norwegian side on July 26, with the return leg taking place a week later, and the winners will move one tie away from reaching the group stages.

Griffiths did not feature on Wednesday night as Celtic recorded a convincing 4-0 win over Linfield in Scotland.
