Rodgers says Griffiths will miss Hibernian clash on Saturday

Brendan Rodgers has revealed Leigh Griffiths will miss Celtic’s meeting with Hibernian on Saturday afternoon, reports The Sun. The 28-year-old recently pulled out of international duty for Scotland in a bid to boost his fitness – causing him to miss a double-header against Israel in the Nations League and Portugal in a friendly – and Rodgers says the striker won’t be available for his club either.

Griffiths allegedly picked up a calf injury during the international break which will force him out of facing former boss Neil Lennon when Celtic welcome Hibs to Parkhead.
