Leigh Griffiths

Cracking goal from the free kick but their keeper should be shot for his positioning.

 

Missed his goal as me mate shoved his phone in me face then but clever finish right in the in gap. I like a good gap.

 

Leigh Griffiths insists Celtic can smash 100 goals in the Premiership this season.


The Hoops fired five against Motherwell yesterday in an emphatic win at Fir Park to make it 12 in two league games


Celtic romped to the title with 77 strikes last season under ex-boss Brendan Rodgers and current gaffer Neil Lennon.

But Griffiths believes with the firepower they have at their disposal, they can post a three-figure tally this term.


The Scotland striker bagged Celtic’s second with Kris Ajer, James Forrest, Ryan Christie and Odsonne Edouard also getting on the scoresheet.

Griffiths said: “It’s possible we could score over 100 goals this season. We’ve started with 12 in two games – so we’ve only got 88 to go. As long as we play on the front foot and create chances, we’ve players who can put the ball in the net

We have myself, Odsonne, Ryan and James Forrest scoring again.

“Even big Kris strolled up from right-back – he was like Duncan Ferguson when he got there! It was such a composed finish.”

Griffiths is edging closer to full fitness and getting back to his best.

He celebrated with Hoops fans after his goal but admits he was selfish for not enjoying the moment with team-mates.

Griff said: “Looking back, it was selfish from me. Obviously, you want to go to the fans but my team-mates are more important so next time I’ll stand and they can come to me.


I’m still a bit away from full fitness but the more games I start and get 60 to 80 minutes under my belt, the better I’ll become.”



Griffiths hailed star man Ajer and insisted he was similar to £75million former Celt Virgil van Dijk.

He said: “The sky’s the limit for Ajer.

“For such a young lad, the world is at his feet.

“He reminds me of Virgil but Virgil wouldn’t have been happy playing at right-back!”

Gaffer Lennon wants new faces in before the transfer window closes with £25m in the bank from the sale of Kieran Tierney.

He said: “We had a quiet weekend because it was hectic elsewhere. We’ll assess the money for Kieran but we have a big game on Tuesday (against Cluj) that’s not easy

 

Still looks way off the pace which is to be expected. Great finishing again with the free kick though!

I think we should buy a striker

 

Edouard, Griffiths, Bayo.. we don't need one.

 

Wait till he is fit!

 

Incredible how well he has came back, so proud of him

 

Leigh Griffiths is getting closer to the form he showed when he was Scotland's first-choice striker, says Celtic captain Scott Brown.

Griffiths, 28, who missed much of last season with mental health issues, scored his third goal of the season in Saturday's 5-2 defeat of Motherwell.

Brown said it was 'vital' he continues his promising return for the benefit of club and country.

"It'd be great for him to get back to that situation," said Brown.

"To get back to that fitness level, for him to get back to that belief as well that every shot that he's going to hit is going to go in the back of the net because he is one the best finishers I've ever seen.

"He's getting fitter, he's getting sharper, he's getting stronger on that left foot. We all know it's a wand. We just want him back to his best for Celtic and for Scotland because we know how vital he is for us.

"I played in that game against England. He played against two monster centre-halves that are world class and he dictated what happened. He won the ball, he won it in the air. He held them off and then scored two phenomenal free-kicks."

 

It's massive the difference we have with him available now.

 

It's a long season and Bayo is unproven.

 

Class picture, what websites do you get these from Crow? Looking to get a canvas.

 

I always do a search on Getty Images for Celtic in the editorial section, screenshot the thumbnails so you don't get the watermark

Class lads.

They can getty * with their watermarks.

 

I need 2 high-def Edouard ones for one of those framed shirts. How many MBs do they normally need to be?

Some look alright on my phone but don't want to go for it and it looks like a screenshot from a 240p video from 2003
