Leigh Griffiths was back training with the Celtic first team today.

The striker has been missing from Celtic’s last three matches but was featured in a set of pictures released by the club on Twitter late this afternoon.

Griffiths made three substitute appearances for Scotland during the November internationals but since coming on for the last 20 minutes of Celtic’s 2-2 draw away to Hibs he has been out with a knee injury.

Odsonne Edouard was the sole striker in Celtic’s 4-2 defeat from AC Milan in the Europa League with Patryk Klimala coming on as a late substitute.

After falling foul on Neil Lennon during Lockdown Griffiths was banished from the first team squad, in his only first team start this season he was replaced at half-time in the 3-1 Europa League defeat from AC Milan.

The biggest decision that Lennon faces tomorrow is over his goalkeeper with Vasilis Barkas- restored to the side for the last two matches- heavily criticised for his performance in the San Siro.
