Giorgos Giakoumakis

Will be so much required against that Ross County defence - it's a compact enough pitch as it is, will need a forward to ruffle up some feathers.

Delighted if the big man is fit and raring to go....

 

Totally agree. This is exactly the type of game we need him for. Hopefully another good performance from him Sunday. Then work Kyogo in from the bench again so he is that bit closer to full match sharpness.

 

Postecoglou also confirmed that Giorgos Giakoumakis, who suffered a hamstring strain in the 7-0 win over St Johnstone a fortnight ago, is available for the cinch Premiership match against Ross County in Dingwall tomorrow.

The return of the Greek striker, who has scored 12 goals since play resumed after the winter break in January, is a major boost to the top flight leaders following their Scottish Cup semi-final defeat to Rangers last Sunday.

He (Giakoumakis) is all good,” said Postecoglou. “He is ready to go. The only one that will miss out is Josip Juranovic. At this stage he is at least a couple of weeks. I don’t know the total extent of it, but he will be out for a couple of weeks. Everyone else should be okay for the weekend.”

 

Thank *

 

Looking forward to seeing him tomorrow. Any indication from Ange whether he'll start Giakoumakas or Kyogo tomorrow? Personally, if he's fit enough I'd like to see Giakoumakas start.

 

I would be very surprised given the run of form he has been on and that Kyogo is clearly still not fully match sharp if he didn't start Giako tomorrow.

 

Want him to start but don't want to rush him either. Maybe 60 mins Kyogo and 30 mins Giakoumakis?. Big boost if he can start. Ange will know best

 

When we play the likes of Rangers and Hearts, no doubt it must be GG who starts. He's a warrior and is suited for battling huns. Against the rest of the dross or a good European team, then we have Kyogo.

 

He needs to start next week and we can bring Kyogo on after 65 minutes to kill them off.

 

Not for me, Kyogo looked a lot sharper today and will cause them all sorts of problems with his movement. He’ll get the nod imo.

 

Love the way he wrestles to get the shot away for the second and was unlucky to hit the bar.

 

Loved the joy he showed at the second goal

 

Was great to see, he wants us to score over just wanting to score for his own glory.

 

Good to see this getting another airing yesterday.

 

Missed him so much last week

 

Massive player. * mental that we have him AND Kyogo.

 

His touch and controls getting alot better than early season. Infact its silky smooth. Never noticed it in his game before but he's improving loads. What a * of a situation for him. Having whats probably the greatest little Japanese striker ever born competing for your spot. Yet here he is, pushing himself to take that spot. I want to see them on together just to see.

 

I am sure next season there may be occasions where we do see both playing together but beyond that given the 60 plus games we play a season if both are fully fit there is plenty of game time to go around.

 

His game has improved massively. I had my doubts early on but he’s proved me wrong. When he first arrived he was way off the pace, carrying a few extra kilos, his movement was very poor. Then it’s like he’s studied Kyogo’s game and added another layer to his own. He’s gone up another level and it’s easy to see he loves playing for Celtic.

 

What’s the odds on him starting tomorrow missed him big time against that mob last time.
