John Hartson has urged Celtic to sort out the contract situation with Giorgos Giakoumakis. But he’s adamant that Kyogo has to start up front against Rangers.
The Greek striker could be set for a Parkhead exit after Record Sport reported talks over a new contract broke down. Giakoumakis wants more regular game time than he’s getting, while the terms on offer weren’t to his liking. That could see the Hoops entertain offers for him in January if they can’t come to an agreement.
But Hartson is keen for a solution to be found. He reckons his former club finally have two forwards that can be trusted to score goals when it matters and is desperate to see both kept happy if there’s a way to do it. But as for who he wants to and thinks will start at Ibrox on January 2, there’s only one choice as far as the big Welshman is concerned.
