Celtic 1 Rosenborg 0: Griffiths late show lifts Hoops

Leigh Griffiths came off the bench to net a late winner as Celtic saw off Rosenborg 1-0 in their Europa League Group B encounter.

Leigh Griffiths proved the hero for Celtic as he came on from the bench to secure a 1-0 victory over Rosenborg in Europa League Group B.

Strong winds in Scotland disrupted Rosenborg's preparations for Thursday's clash, but the Norwegian champions - who lost to the Hoops in Champions League qualification - looked to have weathered the Celtic storm to come away from Glasgow with a point.

Brendan Rodgers' side dominated, but lacked the cutting edge to make their control count, with Odsonne Edouard finding Rosenborg goalkeeper Andre Hansen in fine form while Scott Sinclair and Michael Johnston squandered gilt-edged chances.
