Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has been given a suspended one-match touchline ban by UEFA after being deemed to have played a part in delaying a kick-off in his side's Champions League last-16 game at Bayern Munich.

An advisory from the governing body on Tuesday said that the Hoops boss had been sanctioned for an offence relating to a "late kick-off" in the 1-1 draw at Allianz Arena on February 18.

Celtic were also fined 10,000 Euros (£8,340) for the incident.

The Scottish champions were also fined 9,000 Euros (£7,505) for "blocking of public passageways" by supporters in the first leg at Celtic Park
