LEIGH GRIFFITHS has been involved in an angry bust-up with a fan in Australia.
The former Scotland international was pictured in the heated exchange after scoring for his new side Mandurah City.
It was his second goal in as many games Down Under, as the ex-Celtic star continued his good form at his latest club.
However, the 32-year-old's strike was somewhat overshadowed following an incident with a fan in attendance at their game with Dianella White Eagles today.
The match finished 4-2 to Mandurah, with Griffiths able to capitalise on some poor goalkeeping.
However, with just minutes remaining on the clock, red mist descended on the game.
Griffiths went to take a corner when a shout from the crowd arrived.
The striker responded and approached the fan to argue.
Another supporter was forced to intervene in the bad tempered exchange, with Griffiths and the fan pushing each other away. No action appeared to be taken by the referee.
Something said by a spectator at a corner, Griffiths isn’t a happy man… pic.twitter.com/xdqTC0CEC2

Griffiths teamed up with John Baird in Australia ahead of Mandurah's final two league games.
He hopes that he can use the opportunity to impress A-League clubs.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
