Leigh Griffiths transfer latest as former Celtic striker shows 'incredible quality' amid club hunt

Leigh Griffiths is mulling over offers from abroad as the former Celtic striker seeks to find a new club.

The forward has been praised by Livingston manager David Martindale this week after a stint training at his former club but the Scottish Sun report that Griffiths 'has had talks lined up about a move abroad - with Australia a potential option.' He has also knocked back offers from the Scottish Championship a year after signing a one-year extension at Celtic.

Griffiths spent last term at Dundee and Falkirk, scoring twice at League One level with the latter. Martindale, however, has been impressed by the Celtic invincible squad member.

He said: "Leigh has not been in (this week), I think he is talking to a club, I don’t know where but it’s not my place to say anyway. I had him in last week, he was in doing extra shifts. I know this about Leigh Griffiths, he is a fantastic boy in and around the club.

"I can’t comment on Leigh’s history, I can just comment on when he was here. He looked in good shape, had lost a lot of weight from the time I saw him in the Dundee game.

"His body fats were really low in comparison to that. We were doing some striker drills, his quality is incredible, honestly.

"He is still needing a wee bit of match sharpness but some of his finishing and his touches were incredible."
