He made his way over to the barrier to protest as authorities stepped in to calm the situation.

Celtic keeper Craig Gordon also became involved as stewards attempted to placate the furious fan.

In the Sky Sports studio, Kris Boyd - who was the apparent target of Griffiths' "shush" celebration - reacted to the incident.

He referenced criticism aimed at Rangers star Alfredo Morelos after his apparent "throat-cutting" gesture made at Celtic Park in December.

Boyd believes the incident involving Griffiths should be viewed in the same light.

The former Ibrox striker said: "I'm interested to see if the same people have a go at Leigh Griffiths' behaviour in the same way, because you can't do that."

On the pitch, Celtic retained their place at the Premiership summit with a comfortably victory in Ayrshire.

Odsonne Edouard's classy spin and finish put Neil Lennon 's side in front before Griffiths doubled the advantage after the interval.

Killie's new signing Nicke Kabamba reduced the arrears briefly - netting the home side's first Premiership goal in five games.

But Christopher Jullien rose highest from a corner to seal the three points for the Hoops.
