LEIGH GRIFFITHS has broken his silence following Neil Lennon's decision to leave him out of Celtic's pre-season squad.
Scotland international Griffiths did not travel with the Hoops to their training camp in Loughborough and will now miss out on matches against Lyon, Nice and PSG due to fitness issues meaning he was left to work on his own at Lennoxtown.
And following Lennon's decision to leave the 29-year-old at home he has taken to Instagram to share his thoughts.
He shared Rocky Balboa's quote: "Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows.
"It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it.
"You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.
"How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!"
Alongside the quote he added: "So many knockdowns, I'll rise up and keep challenging those who doubt."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
