If he leaves, there's got to be a good chance he'll end up at Hibs.

I was on the fence about Griffiths coming back to Hibs and swaying towards not wanting him as we aren't a charity club. If he's not fit enough or in the right frame of mind for Celtic then he shouldn't be for Hibs either. However the more I think about it the more I think he'd be a great addition, for Europe especially. Bags of experience and we do need to add numbers. I'd like to think we weren't going to Europe just for a jolly.

You’d think a Championship club would take a gamble on Leigh, no transfer fee and could easily pay double/triple what we could.

If he signs then obviously I hope he’s brilliant but I’m probably in the minority who would leave this one - I just think his best days are behind him and he’s not been fully fit for a long, long time.

Problem with England is Leigh needs to be near his kids, it tore him up when he was at Wolves the last time.

I loved him when he was with us, he was an absolute joy to watch. He hasn’t done it in consistently in a Celtic shirt , with much better players around him, for a few seasons now. I’d rather we spent any money on another up and coming young striker such as Nisbet than taking a risk on a player nearing the end of his career with no sell on value.Every gimmick hungry yob,
Digging gold from rock and roll
Grabs the mic to tell us,
He'll die before he's sold.

Imagine this place if LG was available in a season we are I europe, wanted to sign for us but moved to Aberdeen instead!!
That would happen under Rod, but I'm hopeful it wont under Ron

Whilst he’s not been at his incredible best for a few seasons, he’s had an outstanding Celtic career and even in the last two seasons has scored 18 goals with I’d imagine most of his appearances being off the bench.
He’s managed 20 appearances so far this season under a manager who woefully mismanaged him/their whole team and threw him under the bus on a regular basis.
He’s scored a goal every 132 minutes this season. Edouard has a goal every 130, Morelos a goal every 170.
He’d still play plenty games for us I reckon and if he’s playing, he’s most likely scoring.Last edited by calumhibee1; 08-04-2021 at 08:49 AM.

I’d be pretty sure that the cost of signing Griffiths would be repaid through an increase in season ticket/match ticket revenue. Reading between the lines it would seem that Ron Gordon is more prepared to speculate to accumulate so he may well feel the same. Finishing 3rd and securing the European group stages may well be the deciding factor.

It's really impossible to know if it's worth taking Leigh back without knowing what his wage demands are.
If it's £3.5k per week with a £500 goal bonus then it's probably a goer, if it's £6 or 7k per week with a £1k goal bonus then probably not.
I do trust Ross, Mathie and Gordon to ultimately make the best decision for the club though.

I'd be surprised if Leigh didn't want to stay and fight for a place at Celtc Park - he's likely to see reduced competition as there's almost guaranteed to be big money bids for Eduoard and El Yiounnousi from Premiership or European sides, and the incoming manager is likely to want the opportunity to assess the full squad at his disposal before players start to leave.
Though Scott Brown has apparently been a great support to Leigh over the years, so perhaps that's why this story has reared its head.Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

I’d be utterly ecstatic if he came home.
I’ve got a horrible feeling he’ll end up at Aberdeen though.

Thing is if it's an optional year it'll be Celtic who trigger it and not Leigh, so he'll have no say if he wants to stay another year.

Yep, Wolves triggered the extra year to make sure they got a decent fee for him, it's a good option to have especially for a club.
