Celtic 3 Suduva 0 (4-1 agg): Griffiths reaches milestone as Hoops progress

Leigh Griffiths scored his 100th Celtic goal and assisted another as Brendan Rodgers' side advanced to the Europa League group stage.

Celtic eased into the Europa League group stage as a 3-0 home win over Suduva completed a convincing 4-1 aggregate victory in the play-off round.

Leigh Griffiths' splendid free-kick and second-half goals from Callum McGregor and Kristoffer Ajer gave Brendan Rodgers' side a morale-boosting result ahead of this weekend's Old Firm derby with Rangers - who sealed their own progression earlier on Thursday.

The Hoops were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw in last week's trip to Lithuania but encountered few such troubles in nerveless first half.
