Celtic fans have been reacting to comments that have emerged from forward Giorgos Giakoumakis on his return from injury.
The signing of the Greek certainly caused something of a stir when he arrived back in the summer, mainly as a result of him being handed the legendary number 7 shirt at the club, and it’s fair to say he hasn’t really been able to live up to it since his arrival.
The 27-year-old has only been able to make 10 appearances, during which time, he’s bagged just two goals – though that is partly down to the fact he has been out for a large part of the season due to a calf injury.
However, he is now on the way back from that injury and was able to play 90 minutes and score a goal in their recent win over Alloa Athletic.
The Greek striker recently spoke to the club’s in-house media team in which he talked about his injury and his ambitions moving forward, saying:
“I’m healthy, I’m fit and I can say that from now on the season starts for me.”
He added: “As I said, the season starts from now on. I give my best in training, I try to improve myself, I try to be fit again because if you stay out for a long time, you lose your confidence and you lose your fitness.”
These comments were relayed to fans on Twitter for them to react to, where it generated some interesting responses:
“Good luck big man we need your goals HH”
Will Giorgos Giakoumakis be a success at Celtic?
Yes
No
Let’s hope his time off recovering will have helped him get some form back, because Celtic will need all the help they can get in order to chase down Rangers for the league title this year.
