Weiss addresses Slovan controversy ahead of potential Celtic tie
The Slovakian side lost 1-0 in the third qualifying round first leg tie against Kairat Almaty on Wednesday as Dastan Satpaev fired home a 90th-minute penalty. The winners of the tie face Celtic in the play-off round of the Champions League later this month. Veteran Slovan Bratislava boss Weiss confronted the referee and fourth official and stormed onto the pitch over the late penalty. He had to be dragged away as he fumed over the loss to the club he used to manage. Weiss Jr, who previously played for Rangers, has addressed his father's actions as he revealed the manager regrets his actions. He won't be in the dugout for the second leg after the red card. Read more: Weiss, 35, said: "He's a very emotional man and this match meant even more to him because he used to manage Kairat Almaty. "Just as I would do anything for this team, so would he. "He regrets what happened now, but there's nothing he can do about it now. "Unfortunately, we will miss him in the home leg, but with the quality on our side and with our excellent fans, we will beat them at a sold-out stadium and win through to play against Celtic." Slovan Bratislava lost 5-1 to Celtic in the league phase of the Champions League last season. Celtic will be at home for the first leg of the Champions League play-off round before travelling for the away leg against either Kairat or Slovan Bratislava. That game will be played on Wednesday, August 20, with an 8pm kick-off, as per UEFA's website. The return leg - wherever that will be - is set to take place six days later on Tuesday, August 26, also with an 8pm kick-off.

It was all too much for the Slovaks to take with midfielder Rahim Ibrahim send off just after the hour mark, then the Slovakian outfit's manager Vladimir Weiss sent off for protesting in the dying stages. The manager - son of Rangers star Vladimir, who also played in the match - was infuriated about the penalty award, given for a shirt tug in a crowded box by Danylo Ignatenko.
