The new girlfriend of Celtic player Leigh Griffiths has shared a bewildering post on social media, days after his ex stirred the pot by claiming to have had his fifth child.

Caitlyn Melville posted a quote onto her Instagram Story on Wednesday which discussed the reasons why “people envy you.”

The 25-year-old’s post in full read: “Sometimes jealousy isn’t only because of what you have materialistically; people envy how others love you, show love to you, and have love for you.

“People envy the way you handled a situation that they would have probably died over.

“What they thought would’ve broke you, didn’t. They can’t stand to see you hold your head up high.

“Some people envy your intelligence and how you could make things happen.

“They envy because something that they couldn’t get past, you passed with flying colors.”

Caitlyn’s post comes just days after the Evening Times reported how Griffiths’ former lover Linzi McCartney took to her Twitter page 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 confirm his relationship with Caitlyn.

In a now-deleted message, a raging Linzi 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.
