Kris Commons said on Sky Sports Football on Sunday morning (11:23am, March 31, 2019) that Leigh Griffiths being back is good news for Celtic.

Griffiths was at Celtic Park on Sunday afternoon, as the former Wolverhampton Wanderers striker watched the Old Firm derby between Celtic and Rangers.

The 28-year-old Scotland international striker has been out of action since December due to personal issues.

According to The Scottish Sun, Griffiths has started training at Lennoxtown, and former Celtic attacking midfielder Commons was pleased to see the striker at Celtic Park for the Scottish Premiership game between the Hoops and the Gers – which Neil Lennon’s side won 2-1.

Commons said about Griffiths on Sky Sports Football on Sunday morning (11:23am, March 31, 2019): “It’s a great sight. I think everyone knows what Leigh is going through at the minute. It’s a welcome sight to see him back at Celtic Park.

“Hopefully now he is over his troubles, he can get back fit, and it will be benefit not only for Celtic, but for the national team as well.”

Positive

Griffiths is one of the best strikers in the Scottish Premiership, and it is certainly great for Celtic that he is back in training.

The striker may not be needed much for the rest of the season, but the Scotsman will be important for Celtic in the Champions League qualifiers in the summer and for next season.
