Davie Provan urges Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths to emulate the dedication of Rangers’ Jermain Defoe

Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths is back to full fitness having been out of action since his appearance in the 3-1 win against Hearts back on August 25. The 29-year-old scored twice during Celtic Reserves’ dominant 6-0 win in a friendly against Stenhousemuir at Lennoxtown during the week, and he came on for the last 22 minutes of yesterday’s 4-0 Premiership win against Livingston. Griffiths’ return is a welcome boost for manager Neil Lennon as Celtic and Rangers engage in a neck and neck battle at the top of the Premiership, and former Celtic star and Sky Sports pundit Davie Provan hopes he can start firing on all cylinders soon.
