UEFA has opened a case against Griffiths over his actions at the end of Celtic’s 2-0 Champions League win at Windsor Park on Friday.

The Scotland international, who was earlier pelted with missiles including a glass bottle, tied a Celtic scarf to a goalpost.

The European governing body has also instigated disciplinary action against Linfield over their supporters’ behaviour, and Celtic for their yellow card count.
