    Great work rate today. His work rate in running for that ball which looked to be going out at the corner flag led to one of the pivotal points in the game: William's red card. That really took the pressure off Celtic for the last 15 minutes. Really impressed with Samaras today. I hope he keeps up these consistently good performances.

    Flashes of his excellent skill in the 2nd half, why don't we see that from him more often?

    Overall very good game.

    His confidence is going up and up. He has huge quality but he only shows it when confident. He is the best all round attacker in the SPL IMO but I think there is even more to come.

    Really?!
    Thought today he was back to his old self. Best thing he done was get that guy sent off:56:
    Couple of flashes of brilliance but rarely won a header and he has to chase down and help the team more.

    Can't think of anybody who embodies the term 'confidence player' more completely. Every Celtic fan who sees Georgios out and about should run up to him and give him a big hug!

    If he scored the goal with the run into the box from wide right it would've been goal of the season. Was * sexy.

    The work rate he showed when their player got sent off was terrific.

    Sammy gave every ounce of effort to save us points. The comparison to Christ is becoming fitting, as time goes by.

    He's been compared to Christ in appearance. A member here even has an avatar which centers around the comparison. It's a few pages back in this topic.

    I loved it when near the end he tried to walk the ball into the goal and even took a wee shot :icon_mrgreen:

    Worked his socks off.

    Was very impressed by his commitment in the second half today definitely and he reminded me a lot of Ibrahimovic. He put himself about, won everything in the air, chased every ball, hassled opposition defenders, linked up well and showed breathtaking skill on the ball at times. His play when the Inverness player got sent off just epitomised the display and he carried out the lone striker role to perfection. After the red card for Majstorovic, he and Brown just stepped up the whole tempo and played at top form.
