Police are probing claims Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths sent inappropriate messages to a second teenage girl on social media.
The 30-year-old striker faced an investigation into an exchange between a social media account that appeared to be linked to Griffiths and a minor female youth player with a Scottish Premiership team.
However, a second incident was the subject of the front page of the Daily Record today.
Police Scotland have since confirmed that they are aware of another image also circulating on social media which appears to show Griffiths responding to a second teenager asking for a picture and saying “your (sic) stunning”.

Celtic sent Griffiths home from their pre-season training camp in Wales after the allegations emerged last week.
The father of five recently signed a contract extension at the club, with Celtic confirming that they will conduct an internal investigation into alleged inappropriate online behaviour by the striker.

“Leigh has left the Club’s training camp as we do this.
“It would not be appropriate to make any further comment at this time.”
