Griffiths out in the cold

Striker’s Celtic future in doubt as he misses trip to France

- By Danny Stewart

Leigh Griffiths has been axed from Celtic’s trip to France this week.

The Scotland striker has been ordered to stay on at the Lennoxtown training centre to work on his fitness.

Manager Neil Lennon took the action after Griffiths failed to meet the individual fitness targets set him over lockdown.

Pole Patryk Klimala is now set to take his place for the games against Nice, Lyon, and Paris Saint Germain.

Celtic last night stated Griffiths would meet up with the squad on their return from France, but the news inevitably raises questions about his future at the club.
