Celtic's in-form Leigh Griffiths calls for home support ahead of Europa League clash
Monday 2 November 2015 15:49, UK
Leigh Griffiths has urged Celtic fans to play their part in Thursday's crucial Europa League clash against Molde at Parkhead.
Griffiths bagged a double in Saturday's 3-1 win over Aberdeen to help lift the league leaders six points clear of Hearts at the top of the Scottish Premiership.
After the game, Griffiths immediately turned his attention to the visit of Molde in the Europa League on Thursday, who triumphed 3-1 when the teams met in the Aker Stadion last month.
Celtic sit bottom of Group A with two points from three fixtures - five behind Molde, who top the standings ahead of Fenerbahce and Ajax.
"The Aberdeen game is forgotten about already and we look forward to Thursday," said Griffiths, who has scored 16 goals so far this season.
"It is going to be a massive game and we need to win it to keep ourselves in the group. The team is playing with a lot of confidence just now.
"Hopefully we will get the fans behind us on Thursday night and make it an intimidating atmosphere for Molde.
"We know they are a good side but if we play at our best we know we are capable of winning the game.
"We didn't play anywhere near our best against them but, if we play on Thursday like we did against Aberdeen, we have a great chance."
