Giorgos Giakoumakis cryptic Celtic exit claim as Josip Juranovic reacts to mysterious address

Giorgos Giakoumakis is 'enjoying every moment' at Celtic as the striker set tongues wagging with a cryptic social media post.

The Greek forward, despite swirling transfer rumours, proved vital for Ange Postecoglou's side on Saturday in the Viaplay Cup semi-final by netting the decisive goal to book the Hoops' place in next month's final against rivals Rangers. Giakoumakis has been strongly touted for a Parkhead exit with the likes of J-League side Uwara Red Diamonds leading the charge for his signature.

But the 28-year-old looked delighted with his injury time strike at Hampden but took to Instagram to share a veiled message that sparked a reaction. He posted: "Enjoy every moment like it's your last! On to the final.! Thank you for the immense support."

Other Celtic top star Josip Juranovic, whose contract talks also stalled in Glasgow and has been heavily linked with a move to the English Premier League, reacted to the post with the fire emoji. The Croatian was also touted as a target for bankrolled Serie A outfit Monza but it appears nothing has majorly moved in the past week or so.

Speaking after the victory over Kilmarnock at Hampden, Postecoglou said: "It's not about us or me pushing anybody out of the door. Every footballer has got decisions to make about their career and you respect that.

"I have good and honest conversations with the boys and if something comes to the table that one of the lads feels strongly about then we will discuss it. Right now I am more about bringing ones in than letting them go.

"We need to further strengthen. I still believe we have got to keep getting stronger. The three boys we've signed, none of them played today, but they are going to add to us. Hopefully we can get another in the door before the end of the window."
