Leigh Griffiths smashed a stunning free-kick for Dundee this afternoon. The Celtic striker turned out for James McPake’s COVID-19 stricken side as they faced Stephen Glass’ Aberdeen at Pittodrie. Despite having to make up the bench with Assistant Manager Dave Mackay and a number of youngsters, Griffiths fired the Dee ahead with spectacular free-kick from long range.
The player, who scored 123 goals for Celtic, will know that there is almost no chance of him being offered anything going forward by Celtic and the fact that Dundee are not using him despite their struggles for goals is telling. He has been offered a number of chances in recent times but fitness issues have left him struggling for game time. The sideshow regarding his Instagram amplified concerns about whether Griffiths would take Celtic battle for the league seriously sparking a loan move just weeks after the decision to offer him an extension.
