Ex-Celtic star Leigh Griffiths scores Mandurah City free-kick stunner as he rolls back the years

Leigh Griffiths rolled back the years as he scored a stunning 30-yard free-kick for Mandurah City.

The former Celtic star has always had a set-piece special in his locker and he once again showed that bit of magic as he helped his new side on the road to a 3-0 win over Rockingham City FC in the Western Australia State League.

It may have not been the Hampden stage that he fired two unforgettable free-kicks past current Hoops No1 Joe Hart when Scotland drew with England - but the smile on his face showed how much joy the strike gave him as his team-mates mobbed him to celebrate. The goal also had the subs and coaching staff off their seats punching the air.

The victory leaves Griffiths and Co second in the standings behind Western Knights after six games. They've won four and lost two while the league leaders are four points ahead at this early stage with five wins and one draw from their outings to date.

Next up is Joondalup United before the WA Australian Cup Preliminary rounds fifth round clash against Sorrento.

Griffiths, 32, has turned out for the likes of Celtic, Dundee, Hibernian, Livingston and Falkirk in Scotland while he also had a stint at Wolves south of the border.

He scored four goals for Scotland including that memorable double against England with further strikes against Malta and Slovenia.
