Dalglish says Griffiths “can be an asset” for Scotland
Sir Kenny Dalglish hopes that Leigh Griffiths can patch things up with Scotland manager Alex McLeish so he can feature for the national team in November’s Nations League double-header against Albania and Israel.
Griffiths withdrew himself from the Scotland squad to work on his own fitness, causing him to miss the Tartan Army’s games with Israel in the Nations League and a friendly with Portugal.
The 28-year-old wouldn’t have been guaranteed a starting place for Scotland, however, as he’s been playing second fiddle to Steven Naismith in the pecking order – a decision made from Alex McLeish that may have led to Griffiths pulling out of the squad.
