Kyogo and Giorgios Giakoumakis Celtic striking partnership prospect excites Ange Postecoglou

Ange Postecoglou can't wait to pair up Kyogo and Giorgos Giakoumakis up front for Celtic.

Giakoumakis has hit form while the Japanese star has been out with a hamstring injury.

A second hat-trick of the season against Ross County took his tally to 12 in 23 for the season.

Kyogo has 16 from 26 depsite not featuring since Boxing Day after suffering his injury against St Johnstone.

Postecoglou has been pleased with the strength in depth his side have since the summer and January and he's looking forward to having Kyogo back to aid with the Premiership title run-in.

“For us in the run-in, once we have Kyogo fit and ready to go, having that depth is going to help us," he said.

“Kyogo and Giako are different types of striker but they both have the characteristics we need.

“They’re hard workers, they work back defensively, but they’re also good finishers in the box. We will end up playing close to 60 games this season in four different competitions.

“I always knew that we’d need depth and these different types of players.

“The whole idea was to try and build a squad that was going to be robust and flexible - to face the different challenges we have.”
