Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths has dropped a major hint about his fitness on social media.
On his personal Instagram page, with a picture of himself in his Celtic training gear. Accompanying his picture is Eminem’s song ‘Without You’ with the lyrics “Guess who’s back? Back again.”
Griffiths has been out early September with a thigh injury. The Scotland international has also had a virus. This all comes after taking a personal break last season.
But the left-footed striker is now back in training and ready to give Celtic a boost. Griffiths has scored three times this season, taking his overall tally to more than 100 Celtic goals. He will be hoping to build on that figure when he returns to first-team action.
TBR’s view
Griffiths’ return to fitness would be a timely boost for Neil Lennon, whose striker options are limited at the moment. Odsonne Edouard is the undisputed first-choice striker but he needs another player to rotate with him and keep him fresh.
Vakoun Issouf Bayo, 22, is struggling to be that man. The Ivorian striker has scored just one goal (in the cup) and he is taking his time getting used to Scottish football. Bayo has also been struggling with his injuries and he is currently out. This means Griffiths’ return comes at the right time.
