Why is Celtic star Leigh Griffiths not playing for Scotland at Euro 2020 and what has he done since England free-kicks?
EURO 2020 managers were handed extra resources this year when allowed to name 26-men squads  up from the usual 23. For some in the Scotland squad, it was a blessing as it meant the dream scenario of attending a major tournament became a reality. 4 Leigh Griffiths after scoring two memorable free kicks against England   Read our live blog for all the Scotland latest at Euro 2020   For others  like Celtic star Leigh Griffiths  it still wasnt enough to earn a spot on the bus. BETTING SPECIAL - England vs Scotland - Get Three Lions at 50/1 or Dark Blues at 120/1 to win Euro 2020 clash  The 26 players picked to represent Scotland at UEFA #EURO2020. The simple answer is - he wasn't called up. Like many in the Celtic squad, Griffiths season fell well below par given his usual high standards. It didnt get off to the best of starts for Griffiths when he was axed from the clubs pre-season trip to France. Boss Neil Lennon criticised the strikers fitness after returning after the first lockdown and Griffiths was left at home to undertake his own fitness programme. 4  He has struggled to stay fit throughout the campaign and his form has suffered as a result. The 30-year-old bagged six goals in 20 Hoops appearances  though most of those appearances were from the bench. Remarkably, he hasnt hit double figures in the Premiership since the 2016/17 campaign. 4 Griffiths could leave Celtic this summer  To compare, Kevin Nisbet notched 14 league goals for Hibs, while Kyle Lafferty joined relegated Kilmarnock in February and scored eight in the Premiership. Despite arguably being Scotlands most-gifted finisher, Griffiths contract is up at Celtic and could move on for FREE this summer. There was an argument to take Griffiths as he is someone you could rely on late on if you need a go. Clarke would never reveal who wouldn't have made the 23-man squad if that was all he had to choose. 4 Chelsea starlet Billy Gilmour  But he did opt for three uncapped players in Chelsea star Billy Gilmour, Rangers kid Nathan Patterson and Griffiths' Celts team-mate David Turnbull. All three have done little wrong in the warm-up games and are pushing for starts in the tournament opener. Clarke has listed three players that could play the out-and-out striker role. QPR forward Lyndon Dykes has made a big difference to the Scotland forward-line since his introduction to the squad last year. He is joined by another forward from down south in Che Adams. Adams only joined up with Scotland for the first time earlier this year and partnered Dykes in the final warm-up game in Luxembourg. The last of the striking trio is Kevin Nisbet. He notched his first Scotland goal in the draw with the Netherlands after an excellent season in front of goal for Hibs.
