Celtic managed to win 1-0 against Hamilton to move to within one victory of the league title.
Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that he almost started Leigh Griffiths for Celtic against Hamilton today.
Griffiths came off the bench in the second half for the Bhoys, and made an immediate impact.
The Scottish international striker scored the goal which proved to be the winner for Celtic.
And Rodgers admits that he would have started Griffiths, had Hamilton’s pitch not been a plastic one.
Griffiths is still searching for full match sharpness, as he is only just coming back from injury.
The finisher has missed much of 2018 so far on the treatment table, but could have an important part to play over the run in.
Griffiths’ goal against Hamilton has taken Celtic to within one victory of the Scottish title, as they look to make it seven league triumphs in a row.
Rodgers’ side are next in action at the weekend, when they take on Rangers in the Scottish Cup, and Griffiths may just have earned himself a starting place.
