The Celtic hitman has been out of action since December.

Trevor Sinclair has said on Twitter that it was ‘great to see’ Celtic hitman Leigh Griffiths at Parkhead on Sunday.

The 28-year-old was pictured watching on from the stands as Celtic beat Hearts 2-1 in their last game of the Scottish Premiership season.

Griffiths hasn’t kicked a ball for the Hoops since December after being given time off due to personal reasons.

He hinted earlier this month that he is on the comeback trail, but it seems unlikely he’ll play in Celtic’s Scottish Cup final against the Jambos next week – their last game of the season in any competition.

If Griffiths is of sound mind and body by the start of next season then it’s a massive boost for the Hoops.

It’s easy to forget, but this is a striker who scored 40 goals for Celtic during the 2015-16 campaign under Ronny Deila.

Scottish football has seen its fair share of superb centre-forwards in recent years, like Moussa Dembele and Alfredo Morelos, but their best seasons haven’t come anywhere close to Griffiths’s best in terms of goals.

On form, he might be in a league of his own and the Celtic fans will be desperate to see him prove that again.
