Leigh Griffiths is likely to miss tomorrow’s Champions League clash with Linfield through injury.

The striker was substituted during the first leg and is having treatment on a calf injury.

Griffiths missed training today with Rodgers making a decision on his fitness tomorrow, with the third qualifying round first leg next week it’s unlikely that the hoops will risk the striker.

Griffiths was in the headlines following the first leg when he was targeted by Catholic hating bigots looking to injure anyone wearing green.

After being attacked by missiles taking a corner early in the second half the attacks were ramped up when the referee, stewards and police ignored the incident.

At a later corner one Linfield fan tried to hit Griffiths with a glass bottle with the striker booked for pointing it out to the match referee.

UEFA have charged Griffiths after he tied a Celtic scarf to a goalpost. No action is being taken against Linfield for the racist abuse of Scott Sinclair throughout the match.
