Celtic manager Neil Lennon has positive news for the fans regarding Leigh Griffiths, as quoted in The Scottish Sun.

Lennon has said that Scotland international striker Griffiths has stepped up his comeback.

The 28-year-old striker, who is one of the best in his position in the Scottish Premiership, has been on the sidelines since December.

Lennon told The Scottish Sun: “Leigh is running on the grass and doing a little more condition work.

“He is making good progress. He has another couple of weeks of work before we can throw him in with the rest.”

Positive for Celtic fans

Although Celtic have done well without Griffiths, the Glasgow giants could have done better between with the former Livingston star.

Odsonne Edouard is the first-choice striker at Celtic at the moment, but the Frenchman has been inconsistent and could have done with stiff competition from Griffiths.

The imminent return of the Scottish striker – who has been on the books of Celtic since January 2014 when he joined from Wolverhampton Wanderers for a transfer fee reported by The Daily Mail to be worth £1 million – is good news for the Celtic Park faithful.

Celtic are on the verge of winning the Scottish Premiership title this season – their eighth in a row.
