Leigh Griffiths will be back in action ‘V soon!’

The striker hasn’t played since Celtic returned from their pre-season trip to Austria but resumed full training at Lennoxtown on Thursday.

With Moussa Dembele out for a couple of weeks due to a tight hamstring the return of Griffiths would be a big boost to Celtic’s Champions League hopes.

Odsonne Edouard was the only fit striker available for the first leg clash with Rosenborg and helped himself to two goals in the 3-1 victory.

That result gives Celtic a great chance of reaching the third qualifying round of the Champions League where the hoops would face AEK Athens.

Between the second and third qualifying rounds Celtic open their defence of the SPFL with a home game against Livingston with Griffiths in line to start against the club that gave him his break in the senior game.
