It looks like the Celtic fans have had enough and want the club to cut ties with the player immediately following his latest debacle.
A lot of Celtic fans seem to have reached their limit after Leigh Griffiths decided to host a party on his girlfriend’s birthday, breaking rules in the midst of the global pandemic. And while this would not be a huge deal normally, Aberdeen’s latest debacle combined with Griffiths’ penchant for getting into controversy one way or the other means that a lot of the supporters have called for the striker’s exit.
Now this is not the worst thing that Griffiths could have done. In fact the pictures that have been released do not even show him being part of the party. But it is just one thing after the other with the striker.
This time last year it looked like his career at Celtic was coming to an end after he struggled to find the back of the net. Things though took a positive turn after the winter break and he started to look like the player who scored 40 goals in a season for the Hoops in 2015-16.
But he then went on throw all that good work away by returning to training out of shape following the lockdown. And it does look like Neil Lennon is quickly starting to run out of patience with the striker. Unfortunately, he is not the only one:
Players are meant to be in a social bubble to allow game to resume.

NL said train n home play n home until things change.
Griff throws a party & guests don’t follow 2m distancing rule n his Mrs posts it on social media🤦🏻♂️
Only takes one to have Covid n Griff to take to the sqaud🍀
Defended Leigh Griffiths before but that’s it for me, he’s done. Completely blown it. Has so much more to give for Celtic and Scotland but spoils it on himself. He’s had too many chances and now it’s probably for the best if we cut our losses and we sell him.

This is not a big enough offense to be the cause of the end of his Celtic career. But his past means that he has already had quite a few strikes before this. And at this point, anything surrounding him could end up being the straw that breaks the camel’s back.
