In true footballer fashion, it also accommodates up to five vehicles and the back garden has been designed to represent an AstroTurf football pitch for the striker to brush up on his finishing outside of training hours.

Griffiths, who left Celtic in January after racking up just shy of 200 appearances and is currently training with Livingston, bought the luxury pad in 2020 for £500,000 and his partner Melville had also highlighted the sale on her social media platforms.
