    Giako [Giakoumakis] trained yesterday and is almost there. He has a few things going on in the background to so I thought I would give him the weekend off."

    Giorgos Giakoumakis was not in the right frame of mind to turn out for Celtic against Morton in the Scottish Cup, Ange Postecoglou has revealed.


    The Greek frontman has been the subject of increased transfer speculation in recent weeks with the likes of Sampdoria and Japanese side Urawa Red Diamonds rumoured to be interested.

    It remains to be seen where the striker will end up, but his current manager Postecoglou felt the need to leave him out of his squad at Parkhead on Saturday lunchtime.


    He explained: "He had that little niggle. He trained on Friday but it's fair to say there is a fair bit going on with him in the background as well and my view is that it's not just about the physical but the mental too.

    "I had a good chat with him and until he gets some clarity about what's happening with him, I think as well as the physical stuff I thought it was better to leave him out.”

    Mental health issues are very real in football. I wish him well.
    His team captain in the national squad of Greece, Bakasetas, recently went public with the struggles he has had to deal with in this regard.

    What? He probably isn't due to transfer speculation

    If it's a mental health issue then that's totally different, you would assume it's down to the transfer specualtion, if that's the case you would like to think that a player would be professional and continue to give his best as long as he's at his present club.

    Tbf to him he has done that in recent games.

    If he's not physically 100% and is distracted because he's almost got his move organised, it was just common sense to leave him out.

    I think his new agent is taking him down a path he may not have wanted to go. Agent is in it for his slice of the pie.

    When it gets like that, it's best to get it over and done with ASAP..

    We've got at least 1 striker coming in this window. He wants to go. It can't be left til the last day..

    Love the big man. Good luck. We move on..

    Shouldn't the agent carry out the wishes of the player, and notify him first, before making any decisions in his name? It's sad to hear Giorgios might have a mental illness, in any case. Being affected by transfer preparations isn't something special Ange would comment on- it must be a clinically existing issue.

    Looking on at things from the outside this looks to be very much the case, agents will always try and maximise their players earnings, that is understandable i guess. All about the finances and could be the case that GG himself is not happy with the lack of game time he's been getting, understandable from his point of view.

    Maybe the agent has instigated a move but the clubs that are in for him don’t suit GG?
