Leigh Griffiths has played his last game for Hibs after head-butting manager Pat Fenlon and then punching assistant Billy Brown in an astonishing training ground bust-up
on Tuesday.The on-loan Wolves star is understood to have taken exception to comments made by the Easter Road manager at the Ormiston complex. It seems the 21-year-old striker,
who is on loan until the end of the season, was disgusted at being singled out for criticism over recent displays and simply blew a fuse. The flashpoint came at the end of a
stormy training session in the aftermath of Sunday’s derby defeat to Hearts.
End of the road: Hibernian's Leigh Griffiths has played his last game for Hibs
Sportsmail understands several Hibs players had to be pulled apart earlier in the day before being addressed by Fenlon.When Fenlon’s attention turned to Griffiths, the player
snapped and butted the Irishman, knocking his glasses off.After the ugly altercation, the Scotland Under-21 star marched off in the direction of the changing rooms hotly
pursued by Fenlon’s assistant Brown. Griffiths is then said to have landed a punch on Brown which knocked over the former Hearts No 2. He then raced to the changing room
where he emptied his locker and sped off.
Receiving end: Hibernian's manager Pat Fenlon is understood to have sent Griffiths back to Wolves
It’s understood a number of squad members have been unhappy with Fenlon’s training methods and match preparation. It seems certain Griffiths will now return to Molineux despite
the two months left on his loan deal.The extraordinary flare up will have fans questioning the authority of former Bohemians manager Fenlon has over his squad with just eight
games remaining.
