Leigh Griffiths could feature for Celtic before the end of this season.

The striker took time out from football at the start of December but has been involved in double training sessions at Lennoxtown over the last four weeks.

At the weekend Neil Lennon suggested that Scotland’s June internationals against Cyprus and Belgium were realistic targets for the striker but some sort of club appearance would be required ahead of playing international football after six months on the sidelines.

With Moussa Dembele sold in August Odsonne Edouard has been left to carry Celtic’s striking threat for the majority of this season.

James Forrest and Scott Sinclair have pitched in with impressive goal totals but the lack of striking options has been a big issue for Brendan Rodgers and Neil Lennon.

Oliver Burke has been used as back up striker but despite his obvious pace he has struggled to convert chances into goals.
