Giorgos Giakoumakis breaks Atlanta record as former Celtic man believes he 'can score in every MLS game'

Former Celtic man Giorgos Giakoumakis has been hailed as 'different' by new club Atlanta United after becoming the quickest player to score 10 goals in the Five Stripes' history.

The Greek star joined the Georgia-based side in January amid contract talks stalling with Celtic, which ultimately ended in Oh moving to Celtic Park as his replacement. It left a sorrowful taste in the mouths of the Hoops faithful, though the Korean's arrival has helped soften the blow.

In the meantime, Giakoumakis has been on fire. Helping the side from the Eastern Conference to 28 points in just 18 games, they sit fifth in the standings; miles clear of the play-offs and well in the hunt to win the MLS Play-offs. And that has been largely down to the forward - who has become the quickest player in Atlanta history to reach 10 goals for the club in their 3-1 win over Wayne Rooney's FC United.
