Leigh Griffiths subject of Rangers shirt troll as Aussie teammate dresses to 'wind up' former Celtic striker

The Celtic and Rangers noise is no longer ringing in his ear - but Leigh Griffiths is still finding it hard to escape the rivalry.

Since leaving Parkhead, the striker has been with Dundee and then Falkirk in League One. He's now with Mandurah City in the lower leagues of Australia, where his side narrowly missed out on a title despite his 11 goals in 10 games.

Fellow Scot and boss John Baird hopes to attract more Scottish players down under after convincing Griffiths, who is set to take on a new player-coach role. The Rangers jibes have landed from teammate Andy Murray (no, not that one) and while a Celtic supporters club has popped up, Ibrox responses have followed. Baird told the Scottish Sun: "Since Leigh arrived, the local Celtic Supporters' Club have come out to watch our games. And our closest rivals, Rockingham, now get support from the local Rangers Supporters' Club.

"It's much more chilled out than at home, though. We even had one of our players, Andy Murray, wear a Rangers top to training to wind up Leigh! We want to recruit new players for our pre-season in January. We lost the league on the last day of last season and it was a shocker for us after a good campaign.

"The Scots boys have been great and we'd love to attract more to come over and play here. Leigh scored 11 in ten games. He's staying to play again next season and he could join the staff as a player-coach. He has two of his kids over here now, too, and that's been huge for him. He's made a real impact."
