Celtic fans may have started taking notice of Griffith only recently, with the midfielder making two first team appearances in the Scottish Premiership season of 2024 - 2025 for St Johnstone. These intermittent appearances were perhaps building blocks, scaffolding, as he solidified his place and mettle in the Scottish game.
