What did seething Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths say to Brendan Rodgers after he was subbed?
Think it was WTF

What's Ivan Sproule going to do about it?
If you look closely, he says "I'm signing for Hibs" and Henderson can be seen in the background agreeing.
I must admit this thread had me confused at first. I didn't even realise there was a game on...
Only realised the game was on when I saw this thread. A quick search on twitter and the celtic fans ain't happy with him. You just don't argue with Rodgers the Messiah.
I'm sure it'd be different if he was a born and bred celt tho....
Come on home to Leith Leigh
You know it makes sense
Didn't see the incident but they've apparently kissed and made up.
Gay.
The guy is class, and no wonder he was pissed off at getting subbed.....joke
Would be a massive signing, but can't see it, he's a terrific striker and shines for celtic when he gets a chance.
Agreed. Griff is far too good for hibs at this stage in his career and I wish him nothing but the best knowing full well that if given the opportunity later on in his career he'd jump at a permanent contract here.
Would love for him to leave the lesser greens in the summer. Either a lower end prem team or title challenging championship side would be a good move I reckon. There's talk of Sunderland being interested in Jase for £2M+. They'd be as well spending another 3 mil and getting a Leigh imo - thus leaving Jase with us :-)
Last nights events have not lessened the likelihood of Leigh coming back to Hibs, my sources have told me.
I'd imagine he's being looked after with the final in mind.
Leigh aside. I watched that game last night and the boy Patrick Robert - what a cracking wee player. Anyone seen his goals?
He's a wee rascal. I think you should boot him out the club to show whose boss. Ping,we'll take this troublesome tearaway off your hands. I think Rodgers will probably be quite pleased in reality that he got so annoyed at getting taken off. Be interesting to see if Leigh starts in the final if everybody is fit.
Obviously he was subbed in case he picks up an injury and also to let Rogers try something different in case it's needed for the final.
Wasnt happy about being subbed, Celtic were having a field day and it was 5 going on 10. No player would be happy coming off in a game like that.
However, as Rodgers has said, he forgot that hes the only fit striker they have at present so once the game was won he was subbed. Griffiths understood after his initial moan and they kissed and made up.
Personally if i was a manager i wouldnt mind that, shows hes hungry even though the leagues done and wants to play for the club.
The celtic fans that are slating Griffiths for this must be off their heads. seen one comment on twitter saying he shouldnt get a game with them after that. WTF short memories these guys have or what. He is passionate and wants to do well should be applauded not slagged off.
Some people out there have short memories indeed, the guy put up with a lot of unwarranted stick when he first moved to them - by far their best player last year, 40 goals. They get Dembele and Rodgers and all of a sudden Griffiths is an idiot and shouldn't wear the shirt again. Fickle to say the least.
He's passionate and desperate to play and get goals which is great, you want that sort of hunger in your strikers. He just needs to watch the whole throwing his toys out the pram stuff though, doesn't look very great having players shouting at their manager on the touchline.
