Leigh Griffiths sent a reminder that he can still cut it as he produced a stunning halfway effort on his Hibs return.
The former Celtic striker remains a free agent after an extended period out of the game. He had a short stint in Australia recently but he's now back home and working hard behind the scenes waiting on a manager to pick up the phone. He's spent time at Livingston under David Martindale using their facilities to maintain match sharpness alongside Dylan McGeough.
Griffiths was back at Easter Road and involved in the Hanlon Stevenson Foundation ‘Family Reunion Match’ as a host of favourites gathered all in the name of a good cause to put on a show for the supporters who made their way out in the capital. It was a memorable occasion with the game finishing in a 4-4 draw but once again it was the former Scotland international who grabbed the headlines with a stunning effort from kick-off just before the break. It was his second of the match after his free-kick effort wrong-footed John Burridge and crept in at the near post.

His wonder strike was inch-perfect after he spotted Burridge off his line and watched on as the ball sailed over his head and sneaked in under the crossbar.
Speaking previously, Griffiths admitted he was questioning his professional future in the game due to no offers on the table after five months as a free agent.
He said:"The longer it goes on I think, 'Is football for me anymore? I've been without a club for five months now and, although Davie [Martindale] has said I can come in and train with them, he has said there is no deal on the table.
"I'm still not seeing managers pick up the phone, which means do they want me at their club or is it time to call it a day?
"That is something I'm still considering at the minute. As a free agent you've not got a budget, you've not got a price-tag on your head, everything is still negotiable."
