Celtic manager Ronny Deila is confident striker Leigh Griffiths will not have long to wait to break his short scoring drought. Griffiths has netted 35 goals this season, but has not found the net in the last three games in which Celtic are undefeated.The striker missed the last match against Motherwell but did play in the teams 1-0 victory at Fir Park, which was decided by a Nadir Ciftci goal. Prior to Tuesdays stalemate against Dundee at Dens Park, Tom Rogic netted with a superb strike in the last minute to earn a 1-0 victory at Kilmarnock and the Hoops then came from behind to beat Hearts 3-1 with a Gary Mackay-Steven goal and a double from fellow winger Patrick Roberts at Celtic Park last Saturday.But Deila has been pleased with the work-rate of Griffths in those games, and is certain the Scotland international will continue to trouble defences. Leigh Griffiths celebrates after opening the scoring against Hearts at Tynecastle Hes not tired thats for sure. Hes ready. He gets good chances all the time so thats the most important thing, Deila said.If he had been going into games and not getting opportunities then I would be more concerned. He is so vital for us. We know how good a finisher he is and he will be back on track again.We have others who can score. A week ago we had a winger scoring two and the other one scored one so were scoring a lot of goals this season. Partick Roberts struck twice against Hearts as Griffiths drew a blank But I know Leigh will continue scoring goals if he is at it and he will create chances for others as well so Im not concerned. Its getting closer now but we are in a very good position. Were five points ahead with six games left so there are a lot of opportunities here.Speaking at the news briefing ahead of the Sky Live clash at Fir Park, Deila, who is locked in a head-to-head battle with Aberdeen for the Premiership title, was again asked about the prospects of facing newly-promoted Rangers next season. Gary Mackay-Steven on the mark against Morton in the Scottish Cup Celtic will play the Championship winners and Petrofac Training Cup finalists at Hampden in the Scottish Cup a week on Sunday - live on Sky Sports - and the Norwegian was canvassed for his opinions on their prospects after they booked their place in the top flight with a 1-0 win over Dumbarton on Tuesday.Well see, he said. Its too early to say something about other teams. Ive got a lot of other things to think about. This is something you can keep on thinking about in the media and I will answer next season.

This past summer, the hatred he built up for Montreals arch-rival over the years changed the course of his career.When the Canadiens tried to trade the veteran defenceman to Toronto at the draft, Gorges said no. The Leafs were on his list of teams he wouldnt go to, and he wouldnt remove them.After being dealt to the rebuilding Buffalo Sabres, Gorges stands by his decision not to go to the Leafs because his heart wasnt in it. Thats what he told new team president Brendan Shanahan.I just said, Im a heart-and-soul player. Its the only reason I can be good at this level is I have to play and commit with my heart, Gorges said in an interview with The Canadian Press on Wednesday after practice at First Niagara Centre. And after playing against them for that many years of being our No. 1 rival, I just didnt think it wouldve been fair to them. I wouldnt have been the same player that they wouldve expected me to be.Over time I wouldve got there. But I just didnt think I could commit my heart to playing the right way.A tough, defensive defenceman, Gorges was just what the Leafs were looking for. When the feeling wasnt mutual, Gorges said Shanahan understood completely.What he said to me was, Thats why were trying to make a trade for you is you have that character where you give yourself to one team, Gorges recalled. He even said to me, If you wouldve been a guy that said, Oh yeah, sure Ill go to Toronto, like that, then youre obviously not the player that I thought you were. The fact that you have that built in you is why we like you as a player.Toronto turned its attention to Roman Polak, getting the stay-at-home right-hander from the St. Louis Blues in exchange for Carl Gunnarsson. And as Gorges continued to ponder the possibility of being a Leaf, the Habs traded him to Buffalo for a second-round pick in next years draft.Things have a way of working themselves out, Gorges said.What the 30-year-old knew for sure was he wasnt going back to Montreal. Being asked to waive his no-trade clause was enough of a signal of the Habs intentions to Gorges.Knowing that they wanted to get rid of you, its hard to go on and play for a team that doesnt want you anymore, he said. But I dont think that was ever going to be an option, from my understandiing.dddddddddddd I wasnt coming back.In his conversation with Shanahan and again this week, Gorges said he respected the Leafs organization and that it was no slight to the city of Toronto that he didnt want to play there.His reasoning will no doubt be debated for a while, and his first regular-season game back at Air Canada Centre with the Sabres on Oct. 28 could be something of a circus. But Gorges said hes happy in Buffalo, where hes joined by former Habs captain Brian Gionta.Having a guy that you know, been with for a number of years, you kind of start this chapter off together, Gorges said. Probably most importantly is our wives are great friends. ... The fact that our wives can come together and get used to the city and figure out where to go for shopping and grocery shopping and kids and meet everyone together, it makes things a lot more comfortable for us.Off the ice, theres a comfort level, Gionta said recently at the NHL player media tour in New York City. On the ice, Gorges and Gionta will be counted on by coach Ted Nolan to help lead a very young team.The attitude in training camp has been tremendous, Nolan said. When that happens, you usually look in the room and who the players are to lead that parade. Josh Gorges is one of those guys for sure.Pre-season is a time for boundless optimism, and Gorges is certainly part of that. After going to the Eastern Conference final with the Habs, hell more than likely miss out on the playoffs entirely this season with the Sabres.But Gorges isnt wired to think like that.The great thing about being here is the excitement level and the potential to be good, he said. The fact that no ones giving us a chance, thats an opportunity for us to come together as a group and thats what I like about this situation is we can go and surprise some people. Itll be fun.Notes a€” The Leafs reduced their training-camp roster to 41 players by sending 13 players to the AHLs Marlies.
