New Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths hopes his fledgling partnership with Anthony Stokes will work wonders for the Parkhead side.

The former Hibernian striker was handed his first Hoops start against St Johnstone on Sunday and helped send Stokes on his way to a hat-trick as Celtic ran out 3-0 winners.

The Scotland international teed up Stokes for his first goal after 16 minutes, while boss Neil Lennon praised Griffiths for his energy through out the match as the Scottish Premiership leaders reaffirmed their 23-point lead over Aberdeen.
