John Hartson has made a big prediction about Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths on Twitter after the Hoops star scored his 100th goal for the club on Thursday night with a trademark free-kick.

Griffiths, 28, took his Celtic tally to three figures as he curled a free-kick over the wall and into the bottom corner of FK Suduva’s net to give the Scottish champions the lead on Thursday night at Parkhead.

Celtic came into the match after drawing 1-1 against the Lithuanian side away from home in the Europa League play-off, and have now qualified for the group stage of the competition.

Celtic icon Hartson reacted on Twitter to Griffiths’ goal after the match, backing the former Wolves and Hibernian striker to go on and reach another century for the Scottish giants.

Griffiths, 28, has reached the impressive milestone in just 190 league and cup appearances, picking up five Scottish Premiership titles, three Scottish League Cups and two Scottish Cups along the way.

With Moussa Dembele set to leave Celtic on deadline day, Scotland international Griffiths could have a bigger part to play throughout the 2018-19 campaign with only Odsonne Edouard as competition.

Callum McGregor and Kristoffer Ajer also got their name on the score sheet and Celtic will find out who they face in the group stage on Friday afternoon.
