One young fan has recreated Leigh Griffiths’ famous free kicks against England at Hampden in his back garden.

A wall has been created although just like with Joe Hart there is no need for a keeper as the striker pops his shot into the net.

Griffiths had endured a hard shift in the Hampden sunshine with England leading by a goal when Scotland got a free kick 25 yards from goal.

The Celtic striker hadn’t scored a goal for his country but no-one else was going to get the chance to pop one into Hart’s net. Griffiths did just that then repeated the trick two minutes later to put Gordon Strachan’s side in front.

A last gasp goal from Harry Kane meant that Scotland had to settle for a draw.

Griffiths two goals won’t be forgotten, certainly not by Hart whose career nosedived to such an extent that he failed to make England’s World Cup squad a year later.
