Brendan Rodgers happy with Celtic's discipline

Brendan Rodgers insists discipline is not an issue at Celtic despite two UEFA charges arising from their Champions League qualifying match with Linfield.

UEFA opened a case against Leigh Griffiths for tying a Celtic scarf to a goal post after the 2-0 win in the first leg at Windsor Park on Friday.

They also instigated disciplinary action against Celtic for picking up five yellow cards. One of them was given to Griffiths for taking too long at a corner when missiles were being thrown at him.

Speaking ahead of the second leg at Celtic Park on Wednesday, Rodgers said: "If you look over the course of my time, my players are very disciplined in terms of how they play the game, tactically and composure in the game.

"Sometimes you get that in European games. There were one or two that weren't bookings as such but I don't think you need to worry about the discipline of Celtic.

"We try to win any game of football in the most sporting way and best way we can, on the scoreboard and the way we play. The discipline is not an issue."

Rodgers reiterated his surprise at the decision to book Griffiths and claimed it may have led to him making the scarf gesture.

He added: "I was surprised like most people when he did get the booking, so it could have been a bit of exuberance towards the end."
