Prosecutors will this week study a police report into claims that Celtic striker Leigh ­Griffiths sang an ­offensive song about

a rival player.

It was revealed that Griffiths, 24, had been charged by police over the alleged chant.

It’s claimed he joined with Hibernian fans in a song about Hearts’ former Czech internationalist Rudi Skacel in Edinburgh’s ­Roseburn bar before a game in March last year.

At the time of the alleged incident, former Hibs star Griffiths was a Celtic player.

A police spokesman said: “A 24-year-old man has been arrested, ­cautioned and charged with an offence under the ­Offensive ­Behaviour at ­Football and Threatening ­Communications Act.”

A report on the incident will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.

The arrest came before Griffiths played for Celtic in their SPFL match against Ross County in Dingwall yesterday afternoon.

Father-of-four Griffiths had been tipped for the axe at the start of the season but new Celtic manager Ronny Deila has made him a key ­member of the side.

Celtic declined to ­comment last night.
