Giorgos Giakoumakis produces Celtic signature on the international stage as stunning finish fires Greece to victory

Celtic striker Giorgos Giakoumakis produced a trademark finish to fire Greece to victory over Kosovo.

The forward emerged from the bench to turn home a pinpoint header that set his side on their way to three Nations League points on Sunday night.

It took Giakoumakis only 10 minutes to make an impact after replacing Vangelis Pavlidis just shy of the hour mark.

A swinging cross from the right found the 27-year-old in space and he brilliantly diverted a finish into the bottom corner.

Celtic fans noted Giakoumakis' deadly knack for first time finishes last season as he bagged 17 in total across 29 appearances for the Premiership champions.

Petros Mantolos then struck in the ninth minute of stoppage time to seal the win for Gus Poyet's side.
