CELTIC MIGHT WELL require Leigh Griffiths to be ruthless when they visit Oslo for the second leg of their Champions League qualifier with Rosenborg tomorrow night, and the Scottish striker was taking no prisoners in the departures lounge.
Brendan Rodgers’ men were held to a scoreless draw by Dundalk’s conquerors at Parkhead, and left for Norway this afternoon with plenty of baggage from the first leg.
As the squad trudged through Glasgow Airport, Leigh Griffiths paused at a desk to get his relevant documents in order, but was greeted by a couple of heckling Rangers fans – one of whom can be heard blurting ‘paedo’ in the Scotland striker’s direction.
Griffiths, who was suspended for the first leg with Rosenborg due to his provoking of Linfield fans after being targeted with missiles and a Buckfast bottle at Windsor Park, and was injured regardless, responds: “Your club’s dead, mate. Beat it,” in reference to Rangers’ 2012 liquidation.

Celtic captain Scott Brown appears to enjoy Griffiths’ response, or perhaps merely the fact that he responded at all.
