Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic side have a busy fixture schedule coming up.

Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths has told the Scottish Herald that he believes Brendan Rodgers is going to start picking him soon.

Celtic have an extremely busy schedule coming up, with matches both domestically and in Europe scheduled.

And Griffiths is hoping for an increase in game time, after having to watch a lot of the season from the sidelines so far.

“I would like to think with so many games coming up I could expect a bit of game time,” Griffiths said.

“But it is up to me to prove to the manager and the coaching staff that I am worthy of getting on and hopefully I can make an impact from there.”

Griffiths appears to have knocked down to Celtic’s second choice striker by Odssone Edouard this season.

Edouard has generally been favoured by Rodgers when his whole side has been fit, with the Frenchman usually leading the line.

Griffiths has made just 11 starts across all competitions for Celtic this term, and only one of these has been since October.

Griffiths has still managed to score six times this term though, as he continues to prove his finishing prowess.

Celtic are next in action on Thursday when they take on Red Bull Salzburg in the Europa League.
