Celtic star Leigh Griffiths fined £500 over third speeding offence

Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths has been fined £500 after he was found guilty of a third speeding offence.

Griffiths stood trial at Edinburgh Justice of the Peace Court yesterday after he denied driving his red Range Rover Sport at 54mph in a 40mph.

The striker, 28, was clocked speeding on the A90 in the capital in January last year.

Mobile camera operator Robert Jefferson had told the court the equipment had been in good working order on the day of the offence.

The 16 players Celtic could be left with ahead of the Champions League qualifiers  

Justice Hillary Stevenson imposed the fine and put three penalty points on Griffiths’s licence.

The footballer, of Wallyford, East Lothian, already had six points on his licence for two speeding offences.
