    It's just great to see him back playing and forming a deadly partnershup with Odsonne.

    Our dead balls have improved too, which we were lacking.

    Fantastic stuff.

    I’m delighted he’s scoring and doing his bit for the team.

    Doesn’t change my opinion on him one iota though, and I’m not sure why you think it would.

    That wee deft pass second half to Eddy was class. Should've been a goal..

    He's played Eddy in loads like that since the turn of the year..

    I've been thoroughly impressed with him in 2020, I thought he was dead and buried but his link up play, work rate and attitude has been * great

    So far this year he looks better and I hope he improves even more. I wish him all the best. Great player.

    I'm one who thought he was out but he has been top notch. 4 league goals and a cup goal since the break. When your 2nd striker is scoring every other game you know you are on to a winner. We have another 12 games minimum left, can easily see him getting 15 in all competitions this season (which given the circumstances is a good amount).

    Played well overall, scored, laid one on with that header for Eddy, had another chalked off for a dodgey offside and keeper did make a decent stop for that one on one. Link up play was good, worked hard. This 2 up top really suites him.

    Leigh has more SPL assists this season than manky mobs top 3 SPL scorers, despite only playing a hand full of games.
    All about the team for us boys.

    Did Griff get on?

    Couldn't trap a ball. Falling over. Getting in people's way. Slow and sluggish..

    Woeful..

    Looked about 15 yards off the pace when he came on, would have had him on 30 minutes earlier than he came on however.

    Looks a million miles off being an impact player.

    we need this guy on with plenty of time to spare, giving him 10-15 minutes isn't going to cut it, he should have been a double sub with frimpong. of course the simple fact is he should have started the game tonight.

    Bit disappointed that Leigh's been getting benched recently. He needs to be starting games, getting as many minutes as possible and getting back to full fitness.

    He's already proved he's capable of playing alonside Odsonne, they need to be the first choice partnership up front.

    LG: “We take each game as it comes. Wednesday was a slight blip but overall it was a good point. Not many teams go to Livingston and get three points

    LG on the Manager playing with two strikers : “Its no surprise he’s going with two up front. Hopefully that continues.”


    LG: on potentially being picked for Scotland: “It’s the pinnacle to be selected for your country. But I’ve got a big job to do for Celtic first


    LG: “Capping off the season helping Scotland get to the Euros would be the icing on the cake.”
