    Dundee Football Club and Leigh Griffiths would like to address a regrettable incident which occurred during last night’s Premier Sports Cup tie with St. Johnstone at the Kilmac Stadium.

    Following the opening goal a smoke generator, amongst other items, was thrown onto the park by the visiting supporters. This pyrotechnic ended up back in the stand as Leigh kicked it to remove it from the field of play.

    Leigh said of the incident, “It was regrettable that the pyrotechnic ended up back in the stand as my intention was just to remove it from the pitch.”

    “Having just lost a goal I was eager to get the match restarted as quickly as possible and I would like to apologise for any distress caused by this action.”

    The club will be making no further comment on this situation.

    Interesting that none of the news outlets are reporting on the (real) reason why he hoofed the flare at the stand.

    He was just trying to remove it from the pitch even though it was less than a hard from the byline and ended up about 30 yards away…

    What a fall from grace for this guy, can't think of anyone other than Johnston who has had such a fall from grace with our support.

    I would say the ship has already sailed on that score which is why I doubt Griffiths will ever play for Celtic again.

    Think we should just give him to Dundee now, if they want him, or terminate his contract. If we need to pay him off fair enough. Chance after chance he gets and isn't mature enough to take it, never will be. 5 match ban apparently for this.

    Kin’ell…. he’s there 5 minutes and picking up multi match bans… possibly a police/legal thing too…

    Can see Dundee having grounds to send him back.

    You'd like to think that despite being daft enough to extend his contract …. the board were smart enough to put in a clause or two on behaviour and contractual responsibilities. :40:

    Dumb * kicking it into the stand. Hopefully the plod charging him for kicking it into the stand will also see the plod go into the stands and lift the wee fannies who take them into the grounds in the first place.

    If you trow a flare onto the pitch you shouldn't cry if it comes flying back.
