Watch Giorgos Giakoumakis continue Celtic form with Greece as he nets trademark first time finish

Celtic striker Giorgios Giakoumakis has maintained his scoring form over the summer by netting for Greece on international duty.

Starting up top for the Euro 2004 winners in their latest Nations League C Group 2 fixture against Kosovo, he netted the opener in a 2-0 win after coming on as a substitute.

Petros Mantalos netted the second nine minutes into stoppage time, putting Gus Poyet's men six points clear in first with two games to go against Cyprus and Northern Ireland in September.

Several of the forward's finishes at Celtic have been with one touch and this was no different. Mantalos' corner was expertly guided by Giakoumakis into the bottom corner.

The 27-year-old had an injury-hit start to life at Parkhead but kicked into full gear in 2022 following his move from Dutch side VVV-Venlo.

In total he netted 17 times as Ange Postecoglou's men reclaimed the Premiership title from Rangers.

Now the striker and his team-mates can look forward to their league defence alongside Champions League group stage football.
