    Nice one Leigh

    BIG-hearted Leigh Griffiths made a terminally ill Hibs fan’s day after he teamed up with him at the victory parade to celebrate their teams historic win.
    The Celtic striker, who is a fanatical Hibs supporter, met the St Columba’s in-patient, only known as Harry, during a walkabout in Leith on Sunday.
    Harry, a lifelong fan, was too ill to attend the match at Hampden but was delighted to meet one of his heroes.

    Anyone know if he was on the pitch at full time? 😃😃😃

    Class gesture also. Love the guy (not as much as the current squad though)

    I thought I saw him sitting high up in the posh seats, don't think he's daft enough to go on the pitch, well not nowadays;)

    No he wasn't, he was in the south stand upper in front of me. Spent ages taking photos and talking with everyone in the lounge before the game.

    Cheers guys, was only jesting about him being on the pitch. I'm sure he's managed to give David Gray a cuddle by now though 😃

    Celtic don't bother me at the moment as I'm not really interested in a league we aren't in. That will change when we Pish the championship next season though.

    Absolutely top class Sparky, absolutely brilliant!


    As much as the papers love to make him out to be a troublesome wee ned, hes really a great guy. What i'd give to have him back at hibs!

    Was actually my uncle Harry.

    He had a great day out with his wife and 2 of his daughters.

    Meeting Sparky was an added bonus. Fair put a smile on his face
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!"

    I am no lover of Glasgow but i will take him playing for them over 'we hate the jam tarts and The rfc'.

    Also, if it was not for Stokes and Henderson I think it might 115 years.

    At least two self-confessed die-hard Celtc fans played their part in our winning THE Cup.
    Why should we be too upset if 'one of our own' plays for them?
    (Apart from the fact I'd rather he played for us).

    Agreed, glad that got to meet Sparky.
    For him it would be Sunshine on Leigh I suppose.
