Griffiths blames himself for draw

Leigh Griffiths was seething after missing the second of his two penalties last night against Hamilton.

The 25-year-old striker has been incredible form this season scoring 33 goals this season with a possible 14 games left this season to add to that tally.

He opened the scoring for Celtic last night from the penalty spot but endured a frustrating night and was isolated up front for large parts of the game.

Speaking after the game, the Scottish international took responsibility for the Hoops dropping two points.

As quoted by Sky Sports, he said:

I take responsibility. I’ve scored the first one so I should be stepping up confident of scoring the second one. But I’ve got to give credit to Michael, it was a great save and they’ve kicked on from that to get a point.

But that’s twice he’s saved a penalty from me so hopefully I don’t have to face him again. It’s annoying that we haven’t stretched our lead but we’ve got to accept that and take it forward.

We just concentrate on what we do so our mind is only on Dundee on Wednesday now.

Eamonn Brophy, who scored in the 8-1 mauling last month at Paradise, struck another goal against Ronny Deila’s side to earn the Accies a point and restore some pride.

Celtic fans will be hoping for a reaction on Wednesday night when Dundee come to Paradise in order to cement their position at the top of the table and move closer to claiming a fifth successive league title.
