Leigh Griffiths has turned down the chance to stay at Dundee after becoming a free agent, following the termination of his contract with Celtic.

The 31-year old signed a six-month extension with the Parkhead club in the summer and was then sent on loan to Dens Park, where he scored three goals in 17 games.

He was expected to stay with James McPake's side but has instead turned down the option to sign with the club permanently.

The former Hibernian man has decided his future lies elsewhere with several options on the table, including League One club Queen's Park.

The Scotland international is looking to kick-start his career after a few difficult seasons.

After coming through at Livingston, Griffiths played for Dundee and Wolves, before a loan to Hibs.

His goal scoring exploits earnt him a move to Celtic, where he notched 123 goals in 261 games.

He lifted 14 trophies whilst in Glasgow and scored 40 goals in the 2015-16 season.

Griffiths also has 22 caps and four goals for Scotland but has not been selected since the Euro play-off victory over Serbia in November 2020.
