The ex of Leigh Griffiths has sensationally hit out at the Celtic striker after claiming to have given birth to his fifth child.

Linzi McCartney took to her Twitter page on Thursday to post an image of her new daughter, officially giving her the footballer’s surname.

She wrote: “On a brighter note - this little one was registered today. Ellie Griffiths, 12/12/17.”

The 26-year-old’s post came shortly after Griffiths, 27, took to his Instagram page to confirm his relationship with new girlfriend, Caitlyn Melville.

Griffiths captioned it with two emoji: one with a face blowing a kiss and a love heart.

A raging Linzi, however, hit back in a now-deleted post.

She wrote: “Imagine, getting your ex pregnant, her having your daughter! Lying to your new girlfriend about your daughter...then plastering a picture of her in your Instagram.”

She also included the hashtag: “#t****r.”

Linzi also went on to accuse the sporting star of infidelity when a Twitter user insisted: “You could hang your hat on that boy being faithful.”

In another deleted post, Linzi hit back: “Leigh - faithful? Hahahaha he’s been with his ‘girlfriend’ for nearly a year and I’ve just had his baby?”

Griffiths already has four children by three mums and Linzi is mother to his two boys Rhys and Jacob.
