Griffiths said: “I’ve been back a couple of times with Hibs and once with Celtic and every time the fans have been fine.
“I think they just remember the good things I did for the club during the dark days of administration when I had the chance to leave but I stayed to help them out of a sticky situation.
“It was a strange time to be there. It was familiar for me in a sense because I was at Livingston when they went into administration as well so I was used to it.
“It was a big media story but, as players we just focused on getting three points in games. When we got hit with the 25-point deduction it was hard to take. But the players we had gave us a great team spirit and we managed to get out of it and it was a great time for the club.
“The fans backed us in numbers everywhere we went and we just went on this incredible run and got out of it in the end.
“When we finally did get the points we needed it was a great day for the club and everyone who had supported us. I loved my time there.”
