Riga FC's match against San Marino side Tre Fiori was abandoned midway through due to concerns over stadium safety when a floodlight was damaged by high winds in their Europa League match. The winner will go on to face Celtic.

Celtic are not yet sure of their Europa League opponents after Riga's game with Tre Fiori had to be abandoned.

The game on Thursday was called off when a floodlight smashed during especially windy weather.

Riga have asked UEFA about rearranging the game for Friday, but Tre Fiori had scheduled a return flight for the same day in anticipation of the game being completed as planned.
