Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  He iti ake te kitenga o Leigh Griffiths i runga i nga huarahi o Leith inaianei i te mea i mua. Kāore ia e tākaro ana mō Hibernian hei tīmatanga. Ko te whakatū anō i a ia hei kaitākaro nui rawa o Celtic, he iti ake te kitea o ngā upoko o te whārangi tuatahi. Ki te kore tetahi e whakaaro e noho ana ia inaianei ona ra-taitai tereina, te po te ahua he iti marino atu i te mea i mua. Kei te whakanui a Leigh Griffiths i tana piro tuatoru o te ahiahi nei ki a Dundee United i te Ratapu. Ka riro i a Griffiths te pōro i muri i tana mahi toa ki a Dundee i Tannadice Park. Ko te 24-tau-tawhito (maui) e awhi ana i tana kaiwhakahaere a Ronny Deila i muri i te wikitoria o te Ratapu. "I noho a Leigh ki te rohe o Leith", e ai ki a Tam Currie, tana kaiako o mua i te karapu tama a Leith Athletic. Ehara i te mea e mahi ana ia i tētahi mea e kore e whakaaetia. Engari kua roa au e kore e kōrero ki a ia. I mua ka kite koe i te rota o ia a tawhio noa konei. Engari kāore e rite tonu te nui o tana kitenga ki a mātau inaianei. Tērā pea he mea mōhio. Ko ngā kupu <unk>Leigh Griffiths and controversy<unk> kei roto i te rapunga kotahi, ā, he nui ake ngā whakautu i ngā whare kai i Leith Walk. I roto i te whutupaoro ka kōrero te iwi, ā, ka kōrero ngā hoa mahi pakeke, whakaaro nui ake, me ngā kaiwhakahaere mō tētahi kaitākaro e mōhiotia ana he kaitākaro e kore e taea te whakahaere. "Kāore he ruarua mō te kaha o te tamaiti", te kī a Gordon Chisholm, kaiwhakahaere o mua o Dundee. Ko ngā mea i waho o te mara te mea i āwangawanga ki a koe. He tamaiti nohinohi ia i taku whanautanga. He noho puku ia, he tūtohu i ētahi wā, ā, ehara i te mea ko ia tonu te wairua o te rūma whakakakahu. I pupuri ia i a ia ano - engari kaore i taea e ia te hoki wawe ki Edinburgh. Ko te āhua o te take tērā i nga wa katoa i whiwhi ai ia i tētahi rā hararei. I nga wa katoa e waatea ana, ka hiahia ia ki te hoki ki Leith ki te noho ki ona hoa, ko te mea pea ehara i te mea pai. Kāore au i te tino mōhio kei te mahi tika ia i ngā mea. E whakapono ana ahau kei te ārahihia ia e te rōpū whakahaere o te kapa Celtic. Kua roa te wā, te mahi me te kaha ki te eke ki te wāhi e taea ai e Griffiths te whakamanamana i ngā whāinga 14 i roto i ōna kēmu 17 whakamutunga. I whakanui a Griffiths i tana hat-trick me te tohu i a ia e noho ana hei kaitakaro nui rawa atu o Celtic....
Kei te hanga a Leigh Griffiths i te momo oro tika ki a Celtic. I a ia e tamariki ana, he nui nga tautohetohe a Griffiths. Katahi te kaiwhakahaere o Celtic a Neil Lennon ka tango i te petipeti ki te hainatanga i a ia i te tau kua hipa. He tino angitu a Griffiths mō ngā tamariki mai i taua wā - ko te mea nui rawa atu ko te whiwhinga i ngā whāinga 14 i roto i ōna kēmu 17 whakamutunga.
