LEIGH GRIFFITHS left Celtic under Ange Postecoglou - but insists he's still well connected at the club and with his old manager.
The striker, 31, ended an eight-year period at the club when he was released earlier this year before joining Falkirk on a short-term deal.
But his departure hasn't soured the relationship between Griffiths, Postecoglou or the club as a whole as he still regularly attends matches as a fan.
Griffiths - who is currently a free agent told the Daily Record: "I still keep in touch with a lot of the boys.
"I text Ange whenever Celtic have a big game and he always replies so that’s a good sign.
“My relationship with the club is good, I still go and watch them as a fan and I’m very friendly with the kitman so there’s still plenty of contact.
"I had eight unbelievable years there and it was so important to me not to leave on bad terms.”
And commenting on his Celtic spell, Griffiths added: “People can hate me or not hate me but what they can’t take away is where I sit in the all-time scoring chart at Celtic which is 18th or 19th.
"That’s something I will have forever but I still have plenty more goals and targets ahead of me.”
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!
