The Celtic striker and the former Hoops star are pleased to see Hibernian get promoted to the Scottish Premiership.

Celtic's Leigh Griffiths celebrates scoring their third goal

Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths has taken to social networking site Twitter to congratulate his former club Hibernian on getting promoted to the Scottish Premiership.

Hibernian won 3-0 against Queen of the South at Easter Road on Saturday afternoon to win the Scottish Championship title.

This means that Hibs have earned automatic promotion to the Scottish top flight, and will play against the likes of Celtic, Rangers and Aberdeen in 2017-18.

Celtic striker Griffiths played on loan for Hibernian from 2011 until 2013, and the Scotland international is pleased to see Hibs back in the top flight of Scottish football.

Ex-Celtic striker Chris Sutton has also congratulated Hibernian on Twitter on earning automatic promotion to the Scottish Premiership.

Celtic have already won the Scottish Premiership title and the Scottish League Cup this season.

The Bhoys are aiming to win the Scottish Cup and complete the treble, but they are going to find it hard to do so, as they will face Old Firm rivals Rangers in the semi-finals of the competition.
