Celtic manager says Leigh Griffiths can win fans back after he was booed after police investigation

Ange Postecoglou told Leigh Griffiths he has to work to win back the Celtic fans after he was booed by a section of them in the 6-2 friendly defeat to West Ham at Parkhead.

The Hoops boss made 10 substitutions in one go in the second half and 30-year-old striker Griffiths, recently cleared by police over allegations of sending inappropriate messages to two schoolgirls, elicited a negative reaction.

Police Scotland said it had established 'no criminality' after carrying out a 'full assessment' on claims Griffiths exchanged improper messages with a 15-year-old girl as well as another teen girl on social media.
