    Imagine a conversation between him and Boyd.

    An advert for contraception.

    Think he has had harsh treatment at times, but unfortunately most of the time he has been hugely at fault. Was at that West Ham game he was booed and you just knew that was the end. His lack of professionalism and perving over wee lassies online is all him, his fault, his decisions so * him.

    He blew it, had enough warnings over the years to put two and two together and get his * off social media and screw the nut but just couldn't help himself. With the improvement Ange has made in players and the fact he gave Griff a contract showing he wanted to work with him and yet there he is down the divisions in a struggling side while we are flying. * it big time.

    I really don't get why he just hasn't ended up playing in the MLS, Australia or one of the Arab countries and get some of the big bucks in the twilight of his career. He desperately needs a new agent. Someone with his CV can EASILY get a healthy contract overseas.

    All the more reason to go out and earn the big bucks instead of whatever peanuts he's getting in League One. He could literally do 2 seasons in an Arab country or even Australia, where they have big off seasons as well, and earn probably more then he was at Celtic. He would tear it up too.

    Boyle didn't bring his family with him due to the large off season in Saudi Arabia.

    Aye it is a weird one eh.

    As much he's a * tadger, he knows where the goal is and teams need goal scorers. You'd definitely have thought a mid table MLS side could do with a striker like Griffiths.

    He's the type of guy I imagine being dead at 40. Once his football career is over he'll go off the rails.

    Maybe * off to somewhere like the States and trying to start a fresh would do somebody like him the world of good.

    I think the US would be a brilliant move for him - putting aside the all the personal stuff.

    I just don’t think he would cut it there though. He’s completely finished.

    I think MLS would be a great place now for a lot of footballers to have a good solid, well earning career.

    But Leigh Griffiths ain't one of them. Whatever ability he's had in past is gone.

    USA would be an unreal move but he’s nowhere near good enough to play there anymore, especially not in the MLS. He’s completely finished and isn’t even cutting it in League 1 in Scotland playing in a full time side in a part time league.

    Griffiths is in the same category as Anthony Stokes and Derek Riordan. Bags of talent. Just no able to stay out of trouble off the park. When you think how good any of the three of them could have been had they just screwed the nut. You'd think counting up that amount of cash on a weekly basis would be enough to convince you to stop all the pish. But naw.

    He will struggle to get a move to the USA with his criminal record.
