ian1964 10,724 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Celtic to review travel plans after airport 'abuse' Striker Leigh Griffiths allegedly accosted as he checked in at Glasgow Airport. Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has said he will review travel arrangements after his team appeared to be verbally abused at Glasgow Airport ahead of the Champions League third qualifier against Rosenborg. Striker Leigh Griffiths, available after a calf injury kept him out of the goalless draw at Parkhead last week, appeared to react to a comment made from a holidaymaker in the check-in queue next to where the Hoops squad picked up their boarding passes for the trip to Norway. The person appeared to shout an obscenity and Griffiths was heard to say "your team's deid mate, beat it." There were also suggestions the Scotland forward was then accosted as he made his way to the security gates on the next level. Speaking at Celtic's hotel in Trondheim, Rodgers said: "I don't want to comment on it. I haven't seen it or heard about it, that's the first thing. "The second thing, the club knows my feeling on our travel and the organisation with that. "That is something internal for us and obviously with the help of Glasgow Airport that we can get something a bit more suitable."Incident or no incident, it is something we can look at that allows us to travel safely, which is the most important thing. "Any team in any airport in the world. If you are going from the first entrance to the airport, right the way through where you have to pass every element in the airport, every restaurant, every bar in a busy period, there is always a risk of that. Not just Glasgow Airport but any airport, if that is the route you would take. "But we hope that with the help of the airport that we could maybe organise something. If there was an incident then it is not something we would want and not something that a team 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. "There is nothing more to add to it." https://stv.tv/sport/football/1394815-celtic-to-review-travel-plans-after-airport-abuse/ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearman 9 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Brenda must be getting pissed off with Griffiths...why react to something shouted at him? The racist is a magnet to trouble and it's all his own doing. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

barca72 440 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I've got a feeling growing inside that this 'deid team' is going to win 55 this season. Whatever will he say then? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RANGERRAB 3,674 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 He's developing a convenient habit of not seeing and now not hearing anything inconvenient. If he didn't know already, he's now beginning to realise the type of club he's working for and the type of people he's working with. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthter 542 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) didn't Griffiths miss the Rosenbourg game because he was suspended ? Conveniently overlooked by the media....his absence is always quoted as being due to injury. He was suspended due to his inability to behave.

colinstein 294 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 that's what I thought. BBC this morning saying he missed the first leg due to a "calf injury" 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
