5 things we spotted from Celtic training as Giorgos Giakoumakis is BACK and Alistair Johnston braves the cold

Giorgos Giakoumakis has been back in amongst it for Celtic as they welcome Championship side Morton to Parkhead on Saturday to get their Scottish Cup campaign up and running for another season.

The semi-finalists last season will be hoping to reach the final and get their hands of the trophy for the first time since 2020 when they defeated Hearts in a penalty shootout at an empty Hampden during the coronavirus pandemic. Dougie Imrie's Morton side will go into the tie down on confidence after failing to secure a win in their last five games in all competitions.

Giakoumakis was missing ahead of their win over St Mirren and that fuelled transfer speculation but but that was just down to an injury and he's been spotted back in the thick of it. During a pre-match press conference earlier today Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou admitted he may shuffle his pack to give more of the fringe players a run. He revealed Cameron Carter-Vickers' injury situation has improved but he won't be risked against the Ton. He told reporters: "Cameron Carter-Vickers has improved but we will leave him out."
