THE transfer window will swing open again at midnight tonight - but one Celt refuses to even glance through it.

Leigh Griffiths is expected to be the target for yet another attempt by Hibs to lure him back to Easter Road.

The club attempting to clamber back into the Premier League believe the life-long Hibee is the man to fire them into the play offs - and beyond.

Hibs - who had Griffiths on loan when he first signed for Wolves - sounded out Celtic in the summer.

But they could not get anywhere near the wages the 24 year-old is on at Parkhead.

They proposed a temporary move, then came back for a second attempt in September during the emergency loan period.

But, both bids fell on stony ground, despite the fact Griffiths was struggling to get the game time under Ronny Deila he had enjoyed when Neil Lennon - who brought from Molineux in a 1million deal as the January transfer window was about to close - had provided him.

Griffiths has been ordered to get fitter and to become the 24-hour footballer Deila demands, altering his lifestyle as well as focusing on his fitness.

He has responded positively, and was rewarded with a start against Ross County at the weekend, a place he aims to keep for tomorrow's Glasgow derby against Partick Thistle.

So, while Deila has warned some fringe players will have to move out to make way for the new recruits he is attempting to bring in - Nadir Ciftci, Stuart Armstrong, Mix Diskerud and Max Power are among the names being mentioned - Griffiths is adamant he will still be here fighting for his place when the window closes on February 1.
