McBurnie names Griffiths as the Celtic man who is a “great player”
Swansea City forward Oli McBurnie says Leigh Griffiths is a “great player” and hopes he’ll soon return to the Scotland national team.
The Celtic striker recently withdrew from international duty and has risked the wrath of manager Alex McLeish and perhaps a selection of teammates, but McBurnie would prefer to see Griffiths back in the team and said it’s “disappointing” that he’s currently absent.
As per The Sun, the 22-year-old said: “It’s disappointing for the squad not having Leigh here. He’s a great player. But in terms of my personal gain, it’s an opportunity for me. Hopefully it’s one I can take with both hands.”
