NEIL LENNON has been full of praise for Leigh Griffiths in Sunday in his post match interviews just over a week after he came down hard on the striker.
Neil Lennon’s tone while away in France suggested he was running out of patience with Leigh and the way he approached his fitness during the shutdown. The frontman came back to Lennoxtown over his optimal weight and in very bad conditioning.
Since then, a lot has been written about his future at the club but from today’s comments – it appears the Celtic player has worked immensely hard to get back up to speed.
“I gave him a bit of criticism while I was away,” Lennon told BBC Sport.
“He’s got himself in great condition. He needs a little bit of time in terms of his football. He will get some game time tomorrow [against friendly opponents Hibernian].
“It’s a great boost. It’s the minimum requirement. He’s got himself to a really good level, so it’s important he maintains that because he will be an asset for us.”
If Leigh has got up to speed so quickly, it can only be good news for Neil Lennon and the team. If he can call upon the goal scorer to pair up with Edouard again this season, it could make all the difference and it may also allow Neil Lennon to focus his Transfer kitty on other area of the pitch.
A load of crap this .Neal Lennon knows the score how the fuck can you speak bad of yer number 2 striker.he tried paddy, and that didn’t help, so he’s back for leigh, as peter has told him its the penny tray from now on in for players .
