Giorgos Giakoumakis earns Celtic acclaim from Ange as boss points to his transfer golden rule

Celtic gaffer Ange Postecoglou has praised Giorgos Giakoumakis' attitude - despite speculation surrounding his Parkhead future.

Record Sport revealed talks with the Greek striker over a new contract have broken down sparking a potential exit. Giakoumakis recently changed agent and has already been linked with a £5 million move to Danish outfit FC Midtjylland. The 28-year-old has a deal until 2026 at Celtic after arriving from Dutch club VVV Venlo - but is rumoured to want improved terms, either at Parkhead or elsewhere.

So far this season, he’s had to play second fiddle to first-choice front-man Kyogo Furuhashi in Postecoglou’s side. But he looked hungry when he came off the bench in yesterday’s 2-0 Premiership victory over Kilmarnock - hitting the post and bar after replacing the Japanese. His manager wouldn't be drawn on Giakoumakis’ Celtic future but says he’s delighted with the Greek’s application and commitment.
