It seems like it’s open season on Leigh Griffiths at the moment.

The player took the ‘brave’ decision to step down from his international duties to get into better shape for his club during the international break.

This has been hailed by his captain Scott Brown and members of the Scotland squad have come out in support of the wee man’s decision.

However, Chris Sutton yesterday had a go at Leigh for not turning up to the Scotland camp, when the Englishman was the one spearheading the idea the striker was unfit in the first place.

We now have another former Celtic man having a pop today by saying Leigh has made an a*** of things and the Celtic star should have taken the high road with McLeish.

“The wee man couldn’t have made a bigger a**e of this if he’d tried.” Provan wrote in his SunSport column.

“If he’d handled things differently, he’d have the sympathy vote in his pocket after being shafted by Eck.

“By asking Griff to do a Mo Farah shift against Belgium, then bombing him for the Albania game, McLeish hung the striker out to dry.

“But what should have been a storm in a teacup turned gale-force when the Celtic striker pulled out of the squad for Israel.”

Leigh will unlikely lose any sleep over the comments but we have very few people pointing the finger at the failing Scotland boss here. He can’t control his players, he can’t get results and he stands on the touchline a football dinosaur standing in the way of progress.

There’s only one man who has made an arse of things, and it isn’t Leigh Griffiths.
