Celtic today have confirmed that striker Leigh Griffiths has signed a one-year contract extension at the club.

The 30-year-old’s contract had technically expired at the end of June.

However, Celtic have confirmed today that he will be staying on for at least another year.

The news have sparked wide reactions among the Celtic fan base.

Griffiths has struggled with form and fitness for the past two seasons, and many Celtic fans feel that he hasn’t contributed enough to be given a contract extension.

However, there are other sets of fans who think Griffiths has done well in the past. When fit, he is one of the best strikers in Scotland, and he deserves a chance to get his career back on track. Here are some of the selected tweets:

With Odsonne Edouard’s future at the club remains uncertain, it seems Griffiths still features in manager Ange Postecoglou’s first-team plans.

The Scotland striker joined Celtic in 2014 from Wolverhampton Wanderers and has made 261 appearances for the club, scoring 123 goals.

He enjoyed his best spell at the Scottish club from 2014 to 2017, where he scored 88 goals in three seasons.

However, he has struggled to maintain the same level of form in recent years and needed a long break from football to cure his health and mental problems.

Last season, he has scored just seven goals from 24 appearances across all competitions.

Last week, ex-Celtic boss Neil Lennon criticised Griffiths saying he turned up for pre-season out of shape and didn’t take the chance to put in extra sessions during last year’s Covid-19 shutdown.
