Celtic star Griffiths catches up with old pals at Hibs (Thomson)

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

Exactly. It's a very, very short career.

Totaly agree with this loyalty crap, did Pat Stanton no leave us to play with Celtic. Your tellin me you wouldn't grab at the chance to make four times your wage you lot would jump at the chance.

I don't think Pat left for "the money". Iirc, Ned kinda pushed him.

Is he really deserving of the status he has been given? One great season before moving on doesn't merit it IMO

His goals probably saved us from a relegation scrap last year.

I won't applaud him in a Celtic strip, I don't wish him any luck at Celtic but he's well deserving of respect from Hibs fans and I wish him no ill.

[Northernhibee]

He showed a great deal of love for our club and as such I wish him well wherever he goes.

[essexhibee]

Don't understand at all why some fans feel the need to abuse him for moving to Celtic. He made a move that was best for him in that he can be close to his family and get the best wage he could whilst doing that.

He provided us with some great memories, pretty much got us to a scottish cup final on his own, scored two brilliantly taken goals against the ****bos and is hibs through and through.That will never change, as proven by his delight when he scored against them at tynie few weeks back. Horrible to see him in a Celtic shirt I agree but dont hate the guy for it.

[Dashing Bob S]

Let's not kid ourselves, he's Hibs through and through and if he could get the same money here as he does elsewhere there is only one green he'd be wearing and that's the original one.

However he's also a pro footballer who wants to look after his dependents as best he can in his short term of earning from the game.

Instead of lamenting players who leave we should perhaps be lamenting our own lack of growth on the playing side, whereby we haven't risen to the level to offer better money to players.

Yes he's a player in an opposing side but he's also a Hibs fan who served us well and gave us several good memories.

How should we react to him going to watch the club he supports? There is no should. Whether he is snubbed, abused, idolised or quietly appreciated is entirely down to the individual, and will also tell us a lot about the particular individual in question.

I will always respect LG for his contribution to Hibs, I admire him as a player and that won't change no matter who he plays for.

Think it's good to see players who support clubs still go to games and not bother what Celtic Fans think .Shows he still has affection for the club .He is one that could come back and play for us later in career and if still scoring goals would have no issue with that

[Sean1875]

Realistically, without LG last season we would have been majorly struggling to be kept out of a relegation dogfight and denied one of the most enjoyable games at Hampden ive ever seen, as well as two trips to a Scottish cup final (Although I wish he hadnt bothered now ). The fact he's a massive Hibs fan and still wants to come and watch us despite the fact he knows he'll probably piss off a number of 'Celtc' fans by doing so makes him even more of a hero. Dont understand folk suddenly disliking him because hes chosen the oppourtunity to move back home to be closer to his family and support them on a higher rate of pay at the same time. He'll be back in a Hibs top one day and I for one cant wait for it

His time has gone. Like many before him he has put gold before loyalty and must now pay the price by going from hero to zero.

Loyal fans would surely know the difference between a player who's only ever been on loan, and one who is on the books?

28 goals in 2012/13 with very little service, compared to DR's 23 goals in 2004/5 with a quality team behind him.

It's called jealousy.

I think individual fans have individual views on this. Some appreciate what he did for us, others will taunt him for signing for Celtic. Either way it cannot be denied he gave us Hibs fans a barrowload of joyous moments in an otherwise dire period for the club.

I do get it and i would do the same. But i think we should stop going on about him now he plays for the enemy. We always have memories if some great goals.

yes agree,admire and like him but the love in needs to be turned down a few notches ...............till he re-signs for hibs !

[Swedish hibee]

I still love Leigh Griffths. Welcome back at ER anytime.

[SaulGoodman]

I fear us liking Griffiths might give the whole Celtic team a boost while disheartening our players. We should stop

I choose to do both!

I loved Leigh Griffiths when he was with us but it makes me sick seeing him in a Celtic strip and I'm dreading seeing him back at Easter Road wearing their colours and no doubt scoring goals against us.

Anyone think he will get boo'd at ER?

I would hope not.

I have absolutely no intention of cheering him either but booing him would be ridiculous.

I hope his appearance is met with complete indifference by the Hibs support.

Why on earth would anyone be jealous of Celtic? Horrible horrible club and with or without Griffiths I'd never be jealous of them

[Leishy1995]

For what it's worth, I won't taunt him for making money in his career. I just think we have put him on a pedastool because we have been so starved lately.

Sensational talent. I felt privileged when we have him. If he ever comes back I'd hope it's because he wants to bring us success not because his career is ending and he wants a season with us again.

[itslegaltender]

you can see the rumours about Thomsons injury are true, the way he hobbles down the steps to see Griffiths, must be out for the season.

You forgot to include one major fact he is a hibby through and through so if he turns up to support us then best of luck to him. It was petrie who wouldn't cough up the money for him when it mattered BLEW it big time.

Tautological nonsense.

Wish he was on the pitch. He doesn't suit a celtic strip, only a hibs strip
