    Laughing off those wanks throwing * at him. If it was the other way about......

    Thought he was quite poor first half. Lot of poor touches and passes but the service was dreadful as well to be fair. Lot of long ball's first half which just don't suit us..

    Grafted like * and like almost the full side....was better second half. Was a few wee passes he * up where a player would've been in but he can be happy with his night..

    He's 100% on the right track. I'll be honest, I didn't think he had it in him..

    He's proving me wrong just now

    Not sure about him starting in Europe, but he's been very good since Dubai. Best I've seen him play since 2016/2017 to be honest

    Honestly thought he was finished here, mainly because he was so far out the picture, then out of nowhere and after signing a new striker Lenny hands him a succession of starts. Little bit bizarre but maybe Klimala coming in has reinvigorated him and fair play he's grab the opportunity with both hands. The link up play with Edouard is very promising.

    I wonder if this actual stamp will get as much coverage

    I was a critic in recent months but i was never in denial of what a fit griffiths can bring to the team.
    Starting to look dangerous again and another game under his belt and i hope he can continue to play a huge part in the run in.

    So impressed by the way he tore back to win the ball in midfield to set up first goal. Took his goal well, had presence of mind to take a touch. Although he did squander a few chances, was constantly getting himself into good positions. Should continue to improve match sharpness, just hoping he can stay fit.

    Wasn't sure he'd get the game time to actually get back up to speed but he's looked sharp and hungry since Dubai which is great.

    Him and Eddie are too much for anyone in Scotland to handle.

    He’s not looking at Brown and planting his foot to moving direction. Nothing in that. He’d tell you that.

    Can tell he's still not fully sharp, a couple of fluffed chances on his right in recent games.

    Hes linking up really well with Edouard, can tell they're both intelligent players and both seem to play better with a partner.

    It's no coincidence that Eddy is tearing it up dropping deeper now that he's not burdened with doing it all on his own up top.

    The sly glance around before then the blatant change of direction of his leg towards brown it's clear he meant it it's x10 times worse than what Griffiths did

    No glance and blatant change of direction towards the ball. Take the green tinted specs off.

    On current form, he's the difference between a close run flip of coin title race and burning them off by march. We are far better domestically with two up top. Fair play to the guy hopefully he just keeps getting better as the season progresses.

    That backhel to Eddy for Ntcham’s sitter was * glorious :56:

    His absolute graft got us the first goal though, he can be delighted with that.

    LG: "We’ve played a few games so far this year, and we’ve won every one of them. We need to keep that going on Sunday."


    LG: "The manager might make a few changes on Sunday, but we’ll go in full of confidence. We need to bring our A-game, because Clyde will be looking to cause a shock. As players, we don’t want to be on the receiving end of a cup shock."


    LG: "Odsonne and I feed off each other. He likes to go short, and I like to play on the shoulder of the last defender. Our partnership has been working really well. Long may that continue for both of us."


    LG: "Odsonne is a great player. His free-kicks are unbelievable, I don’t think I’ve seen anybody hit a ball like that. He’s got a weird technique where he gets whip and power on them. If he keeps putting them in the back of the net, then I’m happy."


    LG: "I’ve still got a bit to go, but as long as I’m contributing to the team, then that’s only going to help me. But it’s not about me, it’s about the team. Now, we want to progress on Sunday."

    They're both enjoying playing with each other..

    Both are being as unselfish as possible as well. Griff isn't hitting every free-kick. The way they're laying each other off. The reaction when either score to each other..

    Really positive signs..

    Never doubted he'd make a contribution if/when he sorted his head out and got back to full fitness again, but have to say I'm really impressed with how quickly he's forming this partnership with Eddy after being sidelined for so long, they look like they've been playing together for ages. Wonder if we've been working on 3-5-2 in training for a while this season even if we've only started using it recently.
