Britain Football Soccer - England v Scotland - 2018 World Cup Qualifying European Zone - Group F - Wembley Stadium, London, England - 11/11/16 England's Wayne Rooney is shown a yellow card for this challenge on Scotland's Leigh Griffiths Action Images via Reuters / Carl Recine Livepic EDITORIAL USE ONLY.
Leigh Griffiths took five minutes out from preparing for Scotland’s match with Slovenia to slap down one of his obsessed twitter follow followers.
The hoops striker is famed for his lightening reactions in the penalty box but isn’t too shabby when it comes to the online box of 140 characters.
Celebrating Mothers Day one fan couldn’t resist having a go at the striker who is about to collect his fourth SPFL winners medal.
Leigh Griffiths OUT of Scotland game later with a wrist injury sustained writing Mother’s Day cards to the mothers of his kids..????

Griffiths seems likely to be handed the near impossible task of trying to revive Scotland’s World Cup hopes.
One win, away to Malta from four matches makes for grim reading with even the Tartan Army giving up on the #roadtorussia.
Presented with possibly the easiest looking group of all the European qualifiers getting the better of Slovenia and Lithuania would have been enough to get a play-off spot.
Instead Scotland sit in fifth place out of six in Group F with their co-efficient set to plunge further for the next batch of qualifiers.
NOTE: All of Griffiths SPFL winners medals have been won despite the handicap of paying income tax and national insurance to Her Majesty.
