Celtic 'in talks' with Liel Abada and Giorgos Giakoumakis over new and improved five-year deals

Celtic are reportedly in talks to tie down Liel Abada and Giorgios Giakoumakis on new and improved deals.

Sky Sports claim the Scottish champions are keen to reward the duo - signed by Ange Postecoglou last summer - for their form this season that has brought a combined 16 goals and two assists to the table with the Hoops sitting four points clear at the Premiership summit from Old Firm rivals Rangers.

The Celtic pair are already under contract until 2026 but talks are said to be ongoing over fresh five-year deals that would keep them in Glasgow until at least summer 2027. The Parkhead side believe they can play key roles at the club for many years to come and hope that agreeing to put pen to paper would put off potential suitors.

Postecoglou and Co are set to jet out to Spain as they face Real Madrid in their final Champions League game of the season.

The Hoops are already out of Europe completely after last midweek's draw with Shakhtar Donetsk ended any hopes of reaching the Europa League knockout stages.

But they will be going all out to impress on the biggest stage as they bid to get that first win of the group stages and cause a major upset.

Giakoumakis scored in the last outing at Parkhead last week and will be hoping his performance will have done enough for a start in the Bernabeu.
