In the first match of the second qualifying round of the Champions League Celtic on the road, Linfield defeated 2: 0.

The meeting was overshadowed by an episode when the fans of the hosts threw in a striker Scottish club Lee Griffiths glass bottle. The player Celtic complained about the referee, but only saw a yellow card in front of him.



After the final whistle, Griffiths tied a Celtic scarf to one of the gate bars, for which UEFA decided to disqualify the attacker for one match.

Thus, the Scot will miss the first meeting of the third round against Rosenborg. In addition, Celtic is forced to pay a fine of 4.5 thousand euros for the fact that the players of the club received in this match five yellow cards.

At the same time, Linfield was punished by partial closure of the stadium and a fine of 10 thousand euros for the behavior of fans during the match.
