Brendan Rodgers was full of praise for Leigh Griffiths after Celtic’s 3-0 win over Hamilton Academicals. Griffiths made his first appearance for the Hoops in more than a month and got on the scoresheet in the 82nd minute with a long-range free-kick.
The 28-year-old was previously absent for a number of weeks due to a lack fitness and a knee injury, causing him to withdraw himself from the Scotland national team, but he marked his return to club football with an excellent goal that was lauded by his manager.
Rodgers said to the Daily Record: “It’s important he’s a very good player within our squad and you know that 25 yards in he’s a real goal threat.
