John Kennedy has provided an update on the future of Leigh Griffiths amid reported interest from Aberdeen and Hibs.
The Celtic striker has not featured for the Hoops as often as he'll have liked thus far, with former manager Neil Lennon criticising his attitude and his fitness levels earlier this season.
Griffiths has only played 27 times, with the majority of matches he's had to settle for a place on the bench. That has led to speculation about his career progression and has alerted other clubs to his potential availability in the summer.
Interim manager Kennedy refused to rule out his departure - with the Dons looking a likely option as Scott Brown also heads for Pittodrie - though he admitted he and the player will have to sit down after the campaign ends to settle his future.
"The situation is like a lot of players' contracts," Kennedy said. "The last year can sometimes be an option year, so you find that players might sign a three year contract with a year option at the end of that. That's where Leigh is at with his situation.
"There's an option at the end of this year but, again, this is one of these decisions that will have to be made. That'll be a discussion between Leigh and the club and it'll remain private until it's decided. But it's something we'll have to think about as we move forward, the club will have the discussion with Leigh but that's what the situation is and I can't say too much more on it."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
