Giorgos Giakoumakis pictured at Celtic training as he steps up comeback bid for title run in

Giorgos Giakoumakis has been snapped back in Celtic training as he vies for a start at Ross County.

The Greek hitman had been one of Ange Postecoglou's form players but after doubling their lead against St Johnstone earlier this month he went off less than half an hour into that clash.

It was revealed to be a hamstring problem that forced him off and it kept him out of the 2-1 defeat to Rangers at Hampden.

The 27-year-old was a big miss with neither Daizen Maeda or Kyogo quite able to fill the void in his absence and fans have been clamouring to see him back in time to face Ross County in Dingwall.

It appears their prayers may have been answered as footage shared on Celtic's social media appear to show him back in full training.

While the club focused on Kyogo, eagle-eyed fans can spot Giakoumakis in passing a few times on a series of Instagram stories.

It appears those two will be battling it out to lead the line in Dingwall, with Kyogo still looking for his first start since Boxing Day after coming off the bench against Rangers.

The duo have 29 goals between them but Postecoglou is yet to find the formula to get them firing together.

But this weekend would be the perfect time to do it as they look to take another major step towards the Premiership title.

County, however, haven't lost at home since Anthony Ralston's late winner for Celtic back in December.
