LEIGH GRIFFITHS has revealed how former Celtic goalkeeper Rab Douglas attacked him in the dressing room after a Scottish Cup defeat during their time at Dundee back in 2011.

The 29-year-old spoke to Si Ferry in the upcoming Open Goal episode and will discuss his career so far. However, Open Goal tweeted a preview of the upcoming show including a hilarious story about an altercation with Douglas.

“Big Rab cracked at me once aye. We played Motherwell in the Scottish Cup and we got pumped 4-0. I got sent off for a stupid lunge on Stevie Hammill.

“The boys came in after the game and I was just sitting with my head down and the gaffer was angry but said it’s a Premiership club and we can’t really do much, go get showered.

“So I took my gear straight off and went straight in the shower and the big man [Douglas] comes in and lifts me up about six feet in the air with one hand.

“He just held me and was like ‘You cost us’ and I couldn’t breathe! I was going purple!

“Couple of the boys tried to get him off me and I don’t think he spoke to me for about a month after that.”
