Leigh Griffiths in post Celtic heroics as striker nets 'absolute worldie' on debut at new club

Leigh Griffiths has started his life down under in Australia, with a fine goal for new club Mandurah City scored by the Celtic invincible.

The striker signed a new one-year deal at Parkhead just last summer in the early stages of Ange Postecoglou's reign as boss, but after difficult spells at former club Dundee and then in League One at Falkirk, he's headed across the world to the part-time side.

His first match in the Australian third tier has started with what his new side have called 'an absolute worldie' of a goal. After Craig Barker opened up scoring against Western Knights, Griffiths received the ball outsider the box, shifting into a shooting position and curling a shot into the top corner from outside the box to make it 2-0. Speaking to the Scottish Sun this week, Griffiths says that Australia may be a place where he looks to settle down. He netted 123 times during his time at Celtic and won seven Premiership titles.
