Celtic have been dealt a major blow for the upcoming run of games.
We knew Giakoumakis was out with a knee injury, but Ange believed the stroker would be back quickly. However, the Greek frontman’s injury looks more complex than first thought and it needs to be investigated further. [Jo Hendry, Go Radio]
Celtic are still light in attack with injuries causing havoc – Ange has never had a full squad to choose from and this is Giakoumakis’ second injury at the club as he struggles to get going in a Celtic jersey.
Kyogo is our main striker but Giakoumakis has proven he can be a guy who comes off the bench – especially in European games – and keep the pressure of the defence with his great hold up play and ability to draw fouls.
Albian Ajeti will make the bench on Thursday evening and going forward until the club and Giakoumakis get to the bottom of the injury.
