Celtic striker Giorgos Giakoumakis insists he meant no offence with the title prediction which angered Ryan Jack.
The Rangers midfielder branded Giakoumakis' pre-derby comments that Celtic would win the title and were better than their rivals in every department as "disrespectful".
Ange Postecoglou's side backed up the forward's claim on Sunday as they emerged from Ibrox with victory and a six point Premiership lead.
