Celtic's Leigh Griffiths happy with first-leg scoreline

Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths has insisted that he is satisfied with his side's 5-2 victory over Hapoel Be'er Sheva in the first leg of their Champions League playoff.

The Israeli side came away from Parkhead with two away goals, but the Scotland international claims that he would have taken the result ahead of kickoff and praised manager Brendan Rodgers's tactics.

"[Rodgers] takes off Callum McGregor and puts on Nir [Bitton] and takes off Tom [Rogic] and puts on another striker [Moussa Dembele]. It shows how good we are going forward. We have to tighten up at the back but going forward we always look like scoring.

"It is a great lead to take out there. We would have snapped your hand off to take a three-goal lead out there."

Celtic are now just one match away from the Champions League group stage.
