Former Dundee player Sean Higgins described the fast-food ritual on the Pele Podcast, explaining to host Craig Telfer:
“Every morning we met at the Forth Road Bridge, McDonald’s. He’d come in the car, McDonald’s breakfast... stinking. I was ‘wee man, how can you do that?’ Every morning hash brown, double bacon and egg McMuffin and coffee.”That's it Leigh. The athlete's diet. You ignore the haters pal. You keep plowing through those McMuffins. It's probably even a far more impressive stat than his goalscoring record for Celtic, that. If somebody could track down the amount of double bacon and eggs per appearance. Fortunately, the Hoops striker has managed to turn his diet around and is now, believe it or not, selling Herbalife, an American sports nutrition/health product under the name 'Sparky Nutrition'. No, really. Obviously when he tried to plug his new brand on Instagram it didn't go too well for him, perhaps because his teammates could see the Big Mac sauce he had dribbling down his chin at the time. Patrick Roberts asked him if Irn Bru was included whilst captain Scott Brown simply replied with five - not four but five- whole laughing crying emojis. He then commented again for good measure with a 'hahaha' and to tell the 'weeman' he had him in stitches, in case he wasn't completely sure after the emojis and the 'hahaha'.
