Neil Lennon believes that Leigh Griffiths can play for Celtic again this season.
The striker hasn’t played since the start of December when Brendan Rodgers announced that the Scotland favourite needed time away from the game.
Apart from a couple of social media posts little has been seen of Griffiths but he does seem to have a special rapport with the manager that signed him from Wolves in January 2014.

Despite his injury problems over the last two years Griffiths did score his 100th Celtic goal earlier this season and scored some vital goals this term including the late winners at home to Rosenborg and away to St Johnstone in the Betfred Cup.
Oliver Burke has adapted into playing as a striker to share duties with Odsonne Edouard but the return of Griffiths would provide a number of options.
Earlier this week Lennon stated that he wanted to see the ball reach the forwards quicker and increase the goals being scored which would be the sort of tactics to suit Griffiths perfectly.
