Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths will begin a “phased return” to the club this week.
Griffiths, 28, has been out of action since December with personal issues, however, he will work at the club’s training complex in Lennoxtown, in conjunction with their medical and sports science staff in the hope he can return to first-team training in the future.

Leigh Griffiths took some time out of the game in December
Interim manager Neil Lennon told the club’s official website: “We are really pleased that Leigh will be looking to get things going again at Lennoxtown and be making a phased return to training.
“In no way will we put any timescale on a possible return to the first-team. Instead, we will make sure we work with him on the best, most productive way forward.
“He will really be focusing on his own programme at the moment and then we will see what progress we make from there.
“We will not rush him in any way and we will allow him, of course, to take things slowly and at the pace he is comfortable with.

“As the club has been doing throughout the last period, we’ll continue to give Leigh every support to make sure that his health and well-being are our number one priority.
“We’ll work with him to ensure he has everything he needs to give him the chance to get back to where he was, but understanding totally that he will need time and space.
“It will be great to see him back, even at this very early stage, and we’ll make sure we give him our total support.”
