Celtic and Rangers fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to give their reaction to doubts over the fitness of Leigh Griffiths.

Griffiths is arguably the best striker in the Scottish Premiership at the moment and is a key figure in the Celtic team.

The Scotland international striker, though, is doubtful for the Old Firm derby at Celtic Park this weekend.

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has told The Scottish Sun that the 26-year-old is awaiting the results of a scan on a hamstring injury.

The former Wolverhampton Wanderers striker missed training with his Celtic teammates at Lennoxtown on Thursday, as reported by The Scottish Sun.

Griffiths also missed Scotland’s 2018 World Cup qualifier against Malta on Sunday.

The former Dundee striker scored 40 goals for Celtic last season and has found the net seven times in nine games for the Bhoys so far this season, according to BBC Sport.

Celtic are favourites to win against Rangers at Celtic Park on Saturday afternoon, but the absence of Griffiths due to injury will be a blow to Brendan Rodgers’s side.

Rangers and Celtic fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to doubts over the fitness of Griffiths.
