Leigh Griffiths has been pictured at Glasgow Airport with the Celtic squad flying down to Wales for a training camp and three friendly matches.
A week ago the striker was sharing pictures on Social Media of his solo training sessions but over the next fortnight he’ll have the chance to play his way into the Celtic side to play Midtjylland in the vital Champions League qualifiers.
New signing Liam Shaw was also in the images released by Celtic alongside Stephen Welsh, David Turnbull, Callum McGregor, Odsonne Edouard and Ange Postecoglou.

For McGregor it was his first day under the new boss, less than a fortnight after he scored for Scotland in the European Championships against Croatia.
Most attention during the trip will be on Griffiths as he attempts to prove his fitness and attitude is right to succeed under a new manager.
A year ago the former Hibs striker was left out of Neil Lennon’s squad for pre-season training at Loughborough which set the scene on a very unsatisfactory season for the player and for Celtic.
