The banner read: “Stay strong Sparky”.

Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers confirmed on Wednesday that the Scottish international will be unavailable for an indefinite period as he seeks professional help.

The news prompted messages of support for the Scotland striker from around football.

Griffiths said: “I just wanted to thank everyone at the club and so many Celtic fans and other people who have sent me such kind and powerful messages of support.

“I thank you all sincerely and want to let you know I’m doing all I can to come back as soon as possible, a better and stronger person.”
