Celtic star Griffiths fined £200 for speeding

Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths was yesterday convicted of a speeding hours before he was due on the park for the team’s Europa League tie with Rosenborg.

The star was found guilty following a trial that lasted for three days and saw one police worker giving seven hours of technical evidence.

Griffiths was fined £200 and given three penalty points on his driving licence after his denials were rejected at Dundee Justice of the Peace Court.

Fiscaldeputealankempton apologised to the court for the amount of detailed evidence that had to be led in court because Griffiths’ legal team had challenged a legal notice that would have agreed the basic facts of the case.

Griffiths,28,ofeastlothian, had denied a charge of speeding on 3 June last year on Kingsway, Dundee.
