Leigh Griffiths an injury concern for Scotland ahead of Malta qualifier
Leigh Griffiths is a doubt for Scotland's opening 2018 World Cup qualifier in Malta next Sunday due to a hamstring complaint.
The Celtic striker came off just before the hour mark of the 4-1 Ladbrokes Premiership win over Aberdeen at Parkhead where he scored the opener with his seventh goal of the season.
The 26-year-old will meet up with the Scotland squad but will be assessed.
"I've been struggling with my hamstring a bit," said Griffiths on Celtic's official Twitter account.
"I'll go away with Scotland and see the physio there.
"I always want to play for my country, I don't want to let anyone down."
