    About * time, lets just hope once it's out Celtic make a very strong statement and state what they will make Leigh do to for repentance.

    We have to be strong and Leigh needs to learn from this or he's done.

    Hopefully Leigh will help himself out by doing some charity work etc..

    We need his talent, But not enough to have him making a * of himself and soiling our name.

    It would be pointless for Celtic to make a statement saying what they will do if he steps out of line again. The statement Lennon made months ago should have meant him being shown the exit door, but he is still here. So any statement the club makes should be taken with a pinch of salt.

    I not saying Celtic should make a statement regarding future behaviour but more along the lines of what they are making Leigh do now to repent.

    Because everything is up in the air and next to nothing has been said it could even be argued that until the official verdict is made probably from the police mainly there is every chance we may get rid of him, whether we sack him or just accept any bid that comes in and just take a loss.

    I posted this in the match thread bit I want the "Innocent until proven guilty" mob to see it.

    You can't hear him singing but you can clearly see from both videos that the Hibs fans are egging him on to start a song... He starts the "Hearts are going bust" song which you can clearly hear him sing... So are you really going to try and say he started singing a perfectly harmful song in the second video, but the Hibs fans started singing "Rudi Skacel is a * refugee" instead? Stop being so ignorant.

    why are the police involved ?seriously are they really going to lift everyone in that bar for singing a song ,which may or may not be deemed racist on the basis a vague video which may or may not be the accused singing something which may or may not be rudi scael is a refugee,im no perry mason but unless leigh griffiths admitts to some wrong doing i think evidence against him is flimsy at best

    You can see him starting the song with his arms in the air and then sitting down during it. He definitely started the song, I don't think that is even up for debate.

    In my opinion the only way he can gain some respect back is by owning up and facing the consequences then publicly apologizing. As I said before he's at a big club and needs to grow up.

    i can see some baldy dude waving his arms in the air i couldnt be 100% sure its griffiths or if hes singing at all ,if i had to guess it could well be him starting a song but thats all it would be, a guess. if he is singing something which is against the law then there should be a * of a lot of people in the same predicament as griffiths otherwise its victimisation. a witch hunt

    Actions speak louder than words, He'll gain the respect back by not being a *, not for a throwaway apology like most are.

    He's setting an example though, so now lots of young hibs and celtic fans will think it's funny and what not to sing a song like that. He's a recognised person so unless others go forward with names of the other fans taking part they can't get them but am pretty sure the police are investigating the video meaning everyone there and not just Griffiths, they will know Griffiths could get off with it if they can't get hold of someone who was there and willing to say Griffiths was there and sang the song.

    It's the first step he has to take then start to clean up his act otherwise he's throwing away a promising Celtic career which am sure Lennon has told him a good few times now.

    is singing about someone having one eye a racist song because it implies there is something wrong with blind people,or wanting someone to die in their sleep racist against people with sleep apnoea.maybe they are just sick songs sung to insult and wind up opposition fans and players?much like the rudi scahel one.
    should griffiths been acting the acting the * ,quite clearly ,no! but this daily record driven witch hunt sickens me sfa charges,police involed ?? it has nothing to do with the alleged racism and everything to do with slinging mud towards celtic.

    In the end though Leigh only has himself to blame for giving them the "ammo", if he could just knuckle down and behave decently none of this would be happening.

    I think he needs to impose a ban on social media and pubs till he can act responsibly.

    Half the problems today are stemmed from arseholes with mobiles phones and social media.

    Just watching the Simpson's and it's a very good episode on immigration.

    Hopefully Leigh is watching, He might learn a bit.

    Celtic are more than just a football club, that sentiment itself is enough reason to make sure the club backs their players against truths and half truths at the behest of the Daily Record and also the rantings of anti Lennon and anti Lawwell Celtic"fans" who spend more time fault finding than encouraging Celtic players , fans, and management .
