Celtic to continue pursuit of Wolves striker Griffiths

Celtic manager Neil Lennon says the club will continue to try and sign Leigh Griffiths before the January transfer window slams shut.

The Hoops had an offer for the 23-year old striker rejected by Wolves on Monday but Lennon insists the Glasgow giants are sure to return to the English League One outfit with a new proposal.

"We have made our intentions clear and the talks will keep going now for however length of time it takes to get a resolution one way or another," he said.

Lennon added: "He had a fantastic season last year. I think he has improved as a player and there is scope for him to get better.

"It's not just his goals: he can see a pass; his movement is very, very good; he has got physically stronger; he has got pace about him as well.

"He has broken into the Scotland squad. He knows the environment and I think he would improve here with the players around him."
