Some Celtic fans have been left raving at a stat about Leigh Griffiths that recently emerged on social media.
Griffiths was on the scoresheet for the Hoops against Kilmarnock as he helped the side to a 3-1 win. Odsonne Edouard and Kristoffer Ajer also got a goal each for themselves in the game.
After the game, 20 Minute Tims Pod posted a stat about Griffiths on Twitter. It said that the striker has now scored more goals than Alfredo Morelos, Jermaine Defoe and Ryan Kent combined in 2020.
Is Griffiths better than every Rangers striker?
Absolutely, he sure is
He's not, I'm afraid
This stat left many Celtic fans raving and they could only hail the Scottish striker.
I’ll happily eat a whole humble pie. After the cameo on 29th December, he looked slow and unfit. The come back is amazing. Long may it continue

This season, Griffiths has scored eight times in all competitions and also has three assists to his name from 27 appearances. Six of his goals have come in the Premiership.
In 2020 alone, the striker has found the back of the net four times in the league, with two of those strikes coming against Kilmarnock. He also has two assists in the current calendar year.
What do we think?
Griffiths missed the second half of the previous season as he had taken a break from the game due to mental health issues. He suffered an injury early in the season too, but his numbers show that he’s come back strong, and he deserves immense admiration for it.
