Many Celtic fans were left disappointed when Giorgos Giakouamkis departed the club in January.
The Greek striker was a favourite among several members of the support with his powerful, goal-scoring figure in attack appeasing many.
Nevertheless, he left for MLS side Atlanta United over the winter transfer window and stateside, Giakoumakis has certainly shown what he can do.
In 15 MLS appearances, the 28 year old has netted 10 times and assisted once.
With this record, he became only the second player in MLS history to reach ten league goals in under 800 minutes of play.
And a result of his impressive performances, Giakoumakis has been named an MLS All Star for 2023.

Each year, 26 of the best players in the MLS are picked in a squad to take part in a big game against foreign opposition.
This year, the star-studded team will take on Arsenal.
Giakoumakis was named as one of the top 26 players along with the likes of Christian Benteke, Riqui Puig and Roman Burki. Wayne Rooney will coach the side.
From afar, it is pleasing to see Giakoumakis do well for himself.
He left Celtic for more game time and to show what he can do and the Greek has more than disclosed his abilities for which he has been rewarded.
