Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers admits that he will review the club's travel arrangements after striker Leigh Griffiths was verbally abused at Glasgow Airport.

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that he will review the club's travel arrangements after Leigh Griffiths was verbally abused at Glasgow Airport.

The 26-year-old striker was confronted by a holidaymaker - and retaliated verbally - as the Hoops flew out for Wednesday's Champions League qualifier against Rosenborg in Norway.

Rodgers told BBC Sport: "Incident or no incident, it's something we can look at that allows us to travel safely. The club knows my feeling on our travel and the organisation with that. That's something that's internal for us and, with the help of Glasgow Airport, we can maybe get something more suitable.

"Any team in any airport in the world, if you're going from the first entrance of the airport right the way through to the room where you have to pass every element in the airport, every restaurant, every bar in a busy period, of course there's always a risk.

"If there was an incident, it's certainly not something that we would want and not something that a team or anybody else should have to go through. You want to go, get checked in, get to your plane and get to the country you are travelling to safely and without anything else."

Griffiths missed the goalless first leg of the third qualifying round tie through suspension but is expected to play some part for the return in Trondheim.
