Kris Commons in 'patchy' Celtic transfer fear as Ange hit with loaded Brendan Rodgers comparison over Giakoumakis exit

Concerned Kris Commons reckons Celtic could be left scrambling to find a new striker this month - and fears similar deals that brought Mo Bangura and Stefan Scepovic to the club.

Giorgos Giakoumakis looks set to leave the Scottish Premiership this month with the 28-year-old attracting interest from across Europe, but the Urawa Red Diamonds appear to be in poll position for a deal with a bumper package on the table to secure a move to the J-League this month. Ange Postecoglou looks set to move quickly to replace the towering Greek frontman with Suwon Bluewings striker Oh Hyeon-gyu set to jet in from South Korea.

Despite the swift succession plan at Celtic Park Commons has major concerns over the options up front at Parkhead for the title run-in and their bid to win a domestic Treble. He reckons Postecoglou should have rotated Kyogo Furuhashi and Giakoumakis to keep both strikers happy at the club - and borrow from Brendan Rodgers' Celtic playbook.
