Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths has revealed that he wants to be the club's first-choice striker this season.

The 27-year-old, who scored 20 goals last term, has found the net once for the Scottish champions during the current campaign.

With teammate Nadir Ciftci currently serving a six-match domestic ban and Anthony Stokes reportedly considering his future at Celtic Park, Griffiths is hoping to make himself indispensable to manager Ronny Deila.

"Every game I play I want to score goals and if I score goals it's going to be difficult for the manager to leave me out," he is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News.

"I go into every game looking to score goals, whether it's league, cup, Champions League or whatever. If I'm playing I'm delighted but if not I'm on the bench and I'm raring to come on. You have always got to be on your toes, especially at a big club like Celtic. But whenever the manager needs me I am ready to go."

Celtic are back in action tomorrow when they travel to Kilmarnock in the league.
