After we reported Giakoumakis was spotted in training this week, Ange Postecoglou confirmed at today’s pre-match press conference the striker is fit for Sunday!
There was a major worry we could lose the Greek frontman for a sustained period of time heading into the final five pivotal SPFL ties. He misses the Scottish Cup semi-final last Sunday but will now be available for the visit to Dingwall.
It’s a great boost for Celtic and takes the burden off Kyogo who will still be trying to find his match sharpness after a lengthy layoff.
The bad news for Celtic is Josip Juranovic will be out for a couple of weeks and will miss the Glasgow Derby and the Ross County game this weekend.
Only Josip Juranovic will be missing for Celtic this weekend. He’ll be out for “a couple of weeks”. Giorgos Giakoumakis is back.

Celtic are in a great position with five games to go but the champagne isn’t being put on ice at the moment. There’s still work to be done and if we can get a win against Ross County on Sunday, it will be a massive step forward toward the title.
Juranovic’s injury is a blow, but we do have a strong squad and Anthony Ralston will get to finish what he started.
