Celtic Striker Leigh Griffiths Offers to Buy Presents for Burglarised Family

Sometimes, Christmas miracles come from strange and, in this case, even hated places. 

Such is the case when avid Hearts fan Michael Wright had his £6,000 Ford Fiesta stolen from his property along with a purse and his wallet with £200 he had saved to buy presents for his five-year-old son, Shane.

"It's completely devastating what they have done," Wright told the Edinburgh Evening News. "We were planning on dropping Shane off at school and doing his Christmas shopping. 

"We were going to buy computer games for his PlayStation." 

In spite of his Hearts loyalty and Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths' controversial history with the club, when hearing of the story, Griffiths reached out to Wright on Facebook and offered to help rectify the situation.

It's been a good-press holiday week for Celtic all around, as for Christmas, the club is also giving away tickets to out-of-work fans.
