Terms and conditions agreed.  Fee undisclosed.  Press conference expected at Broadwood on Monday.

 

Police are probing new claims Celtic star Leigh Griffiths sent inappropriate messages to a second teenage girl on social media.

The striker has been lying low after it was revealed cops are investigating an exchange between an account linked to the 30-year-old and a 15-year-old female youth player with a Scottish Premiership team.

Griffiths is thought to have returned to his luxury property in Bothwell, Lanarkshire, on Wednesday, after being sent home from Celtic’s pre-season training camp in Wales after the allegations emerged.

But a second image has been circulated across social media appearing to be Griffiths responding to a second teenager asking for a picture and saying “your (sic) stunning”. The girl seems not to have answered.

It’s not known yet if the exchange is genuine, who the girl is or how old she is. But Police Scotland said yesterday they were aware of the social media content and are assessing it. Club bosses have also launched their own investigation into Griffiths.

When asked by the Daily Record if they were aware of the second image being circulated on social media a police spokeswoman confirmed : “We are aware of the social media content and the matter is currently being assessed”

Griffiths is believed to be hiding away in the luxurious home he shares with his girlfriend while the investigations are ongoing.

Dental nurse Caitlyn Melville, who has been in a relationship with the father of five for several years, arrived back at his gated home last night after earlier posting clips of her gym workout to social media.

No one answered the bell at the detached house when we tried to speak to him.

The former Scotland international, who did not feature in the Euro 2020 squad, came under fire on Tuesday after a leaked exchange went viral on social media.

It appeared to show an Instagram account in Griffiths’ name requesting pictures from the under-16s hopeful – who cannot be identified for legal reasons – calling her “ya cutie” and sending a clapping emoji to an underwear shot she had shared.

In screengrabs of the messages, an account in Griffiths’ name sends two emojis of cameras flashing to the teenager.

She asks, “What do you mean? x” before Griffiths’ account responds, “Nothing, killed it x” with laughing emojis. The account linked to the footballer later replies: “Have a think of it and get back to me x”

A clapping emoji then appears in the private thread on a picture the teen shared of herself in underwear.

The youngster took to her Instagram stories after the messages appeared online, saying she had responded because she is a Celtic fan and felt “privileged” to be in contact with the Scotland star.

She wrote: “Leigh Griffiths didn’t ask my age therefore he wasn’t capable of knowing. In no way does this make it right but, anyway, hail hail.

“My age was never mentioned and I’m sure if he knew he wouldn’t have replied.” Police Scotland confirmed on Wednesday regarding the first social media pictures that it had been made aware of the social media content and was “making inquiries and assessing for criminality.”

Celtic confirmed Griffiths had left the training camp on Tuesday and said it would “look into this matter carefully”.

It also had no further comment to make.

A source at the girl’s club told the Record she had been given guidance on her social media activity and her parents were spoken to over the incident.

They have also declined to comment.

With his contract expired, Griffiths looked set to leave Celtic this summer.

But new manager Ange Postecoglou last week offered him a shock 12-month deal, saying he had “unfinished business” with the club.

Several attempts have been made to contact Griffiths but no response has been received.

Looks like Clyde have had it

Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths has been cleared of criminality over alleged inappropriate social media messages to teenage girls.

The 30-year-old was sent home this month from the Scottish Premiership club's training base in Wales after allegations were made about one girl.

It then emerged that by Police Scotland were investigating a second case.

"A full assessment has been carried out and it's been established there is no criminality," Police Scotland said.

 

Griffiths, who joined Celtic from Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2014, this month signed a new one-year contract extension following discussions with new manager Ange Postecoglou as his previous deal came to an end.

However, the Scotland international did not feature in Celtic's two pre-season friendlies against Sheffield Wednesday and Charlton Athletic in Newport.

Postecoglou's side face Bristol City in another closed doors game at the English Championship club's training base on Wednesday.

Celtic have been approached for comment.
