As Celtic lost their undefeated streak with a 4-0 hammering at the hands of Hearts, a Twitter user by the name of @DavotelliKAT sent a post to Griffiths, saying “I cannot wait til your four children die”.

The Scotland star quickly replied to the shocking tweet, writing: “Seriously what is wrong with some people. Yes we lost a game of football. But you think saying s*** like this is Big and clever?? Because it doesn’t! It’s horrific, and you should be ashamed of yourself!”
