Giorgos Giakoumakis is back for Celtic as judgement call reaps rewards

Celtic have been boosted by the return of Giorgos Giakoumakis for their crunch clash with Livingston on Sunday.

The league leaders face a trip to their bogey venue as they look to banish a run of five visits without victory at the Tony Macaroni Arena.

And the imposing presence of Giakoumakis is likely to be needed as they look to find a solution to David Martindale's Livingston side.

But boss Ange Postecoglou is full of belief fresh off being name the Premiership manager of the month for a third time this season and getting the Greek striker back in the mix.

Speaking ahead of the visit to the Tony Macaroni Arena, he said: "He (Giakoumakis) is fine. I made a decision on Wednesday that it was best not to push him, we had some options.

"He trained on Thursday with the guys who weren't playing and then trained fully today.

"No-one came out with anything from the game so it's the same sort of squad plus Giorgos."
