Overweight? – Sutton Says Celtic Star Looks Unfit

Chris Sutton has come out and had a dig at Leigh Griffiths for his performance in Austria on Thursday night.

The former Celtic striker also had a go at the goal scorer Odsonne Edouard, for not doing much else after his second minute goal.

Leigh and Edouard were not-existant for large portions of the game with Celtic under the cosh, neither striker gave midfielders a credible out ball to alleviate the pressure.

With Celtic leading for 45 minutes, they needed a strong second half from their front men but it didn’t come.

However, Sutton has gone one further with his Leigh Griffiths commentary and suggested the striker is overweight.

“To my eye, he just doesn’t look fully fit. He might even be carrying a bit of extra weight.” Sutton declared on his Daily Record blog.

“I’m a massive fan of his finishing but it needs more. The Scotland striker barely contributed a thing the other night.

“I think he got his body in front once to win a free-kick when he needed to do it 10 times.”

Has the pundit crossed a line here? Or is there something in what Sutton is saying?

Leigh Griffiths and Odsonne Edouard must be stronger in Europe if we are to have any chance of progressing but how will they fair in Germany.
