Leigh Griffiths showed that he’s bang in form as a video clip emerged from Celtic’s pre-season training at Lennoxtown.
Bearing an uncanny similarity to Gareth Bale’s spectacular effort for Real Madrid in the final of the Champions League the striker smashed an unstoppable overhead kick past a startled goalkeeper.
Assisting with the wonder goal was new signing Lewis Morgan who came in off the left flank to deliver the perfect cross for Griffiths.

Griffiths will need to maintain form like that, and his fitness if he is to play his way into Brendan Rodgers’ plans for the new season.
With Odsonne Edouard signed up on what is reported to be a club record fee competition for a striking place will be fierce with Moussa Dembele still a Celtic player.
Over the last two season’s Griffiths has played a key role in Celtic negotiating their way through the minefield that is the qualifying process for the Champions League.
Celtic will be required to get through four qualifying rounds to reach the group phase with Rodgers stepping up the preparations with a trip to Austria that will involve three matches.
