Celtic are currently without the 27-year-old after he suffered a knee injury. The manager said at the beginning of the month that he was two or three weeks away from returning to action but the trail has gone cold. Hopefully, Celtic can welcome him back over the next few weeks as the hectic schedule ramps up towards the turn of the year.
Giakoumakis is yet to really hit the ground running at Celtic with just one goal to his tally so far in Glasgow’s East End.
