Trouble for Griffiths

[abbobrom]

Looks as if Leigh Griffiths is for the high jump in Scotland.

Griffiths was last week hit with a charge of not acting in the best interests of football by "singing about Hearts in administration" and the notice of complaint was updated after SFA compliance officer watched fresh footage, which emerged at the weekend.

This appeared to show the Scotland international singing in a pub with Hibernian fans as they chanted a derogatory song about former Hearts player Rudi Skacel.

Griffiths, whose actions are also under investigation by police and his club, has now been accused of bringing the game into disrepute.

The 23-year-old - who joined Celtic from Wolves in January - was filmed with fellow Hibs supporters before watching his former team-mates lose 2-0 against Hearts at Tynecastle on March 30.

After the initial footage emerged of him singing "Hearts are going bust", Celtic manager Neil Lennon last week warned Griffiths that the transgression was "his one strike''.

Very interesting. he did some good things for us, but I never could warm to him. Sadly, this does not surprise me. He has talent as a footballer, maybe he is not so talented at choosing his friends!

His goal celebration at Port Vale will live long in the memory, he lives on the edge and it's caught up with him in his homeland.

Million pound talent with a 10p brain!

Just goes to show how much resource must have been used up in controlling him while with wolves.
Puts all the rubbish to bed about him missing his family, as you'd think he'd be spending time with them and not spending time in the pub.

He will regret one day wasting the talent and opportunity given to him.
