Former Celtic striker Giorgos Giakoumakis continued his blistering post-Parkhead career as the Greek made history at Atlanta United by becoming the faster player ever at the club to hit 10 goals.
The 28-year-old joined the Georgia-based side in January after being offered a more lucrative deal away from the east end of Glasgow and it’s worked out well for Giakoumakis across the Atlantic as he now leads the race for the MLS Golden Boot.
Giakoumakis netted in the 13th minute in the 3-1 win over Wayne Rooney’s side FC United to hit double figures. The ex Hoops frontman has averaged a goal every game since moving to America and broke the previous record set by Josef Martinez, the club’s all-time top scorer. Giakoumakis is now 10th in the all-time top scorers list for the club. The man signed by Ange Postecoglou from VVV Venlo aims to keep up his hot scoring streak, saying he believes he can score in “every game”.
