EXCLUSIVE: Kiss goodbye! Griffiths finished at Hibs after butting Fenlon

Leigh Griffiths has played his last game for Hibs after head-butting manager Pat Fenlon and then punching assistant Billy Brown in an astonishing training ground bust-up on Tuesday.

The on-loan Wolves star is understood to have taken exception to comments made by the Easter Road manager at the Ormiston complex.

It seems the 21-year-old striker, who is on loan until the end of the season, was disgusted at being singled out for criticism over recent displays and simply blew a fuse. The flashpoint came at the end of a stormy training session in the aftermath of Sunday’s derby defeat to Hearts.

Sportsmail understands several Hibs players had to be pulled apart earlier in the day before being addressed by Fenlon.

When Fenlon’s attention turned to Griffiths, the player snapped and butted the Irishman, knocking his glasses off.

After the ugly altercation, the Scotland Under-21 star marched off in the direction of the changing rooms hotly pursued by Fenlon’s assistant Brown.

Griffiths is then said to have landed a punch on Brown which knocked over the former Hearts No 2.

He then raced to the changing room where he emptied his locker and sped off.

Wolves should sack him too.

Jumped up little so-and-so

Thats disgraceful, he definitely should be charged for that by the Scottish fa. It won't help the moral in the team either to have players fighting. Needs good strong management to get it under control.

This is disgraceful behaviour but in saying that the same player has been done for making abusive gestures to fans and I think they were his own. So he seems to have anger issues I don't know what the football athourities can do but if possible they have too hanner him

Forget the SFA, he should be arrested for assault!

Noticed no one came back to update this. According to Fenlon no such thing happened.

Yes, denied by Nutsy and the club, and state that he will be in panel for weekend game (RTÉ Radio news at 14.40).

One minute he is gone, nest all is Ok

"Yesterday was typical training ground stuff, and I'm surprised at the rubbish in the press today. As is usual for high tempo training sessions, involving committed players and coaching staff, robust views and opinions are shared, and yesterday's session was no different.

"Leigh is a quality striker, and a lively personality, and will remain a key part of my team for the rest of the season. There's nothing at all in the story. We just want to focus on winning games and getting up the table."

Apparently it was something first said on the Hibees Bounce forum and was then picked up by the media.

He will turn that club into winners, its what he does.


His and Hibs problem is none of the players give a fcuk, if he is still manager at the start of next season, i reckon they will do well.

/And no he doesnt need millions.............
