# Celtic: Giorgos Giakoumakis fit for Ross County clash

**[Celtic](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/celtic-transfer-rumours/) striker Giorgos Giakoumakis has been officially passed fit for the Hoops’ vital [Scottish Premiership](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/scottish-premiership-news/) clash with Ross County this weekend.**

### The Lowdown: Celtic face another big game

Ange Postecoglou’s men return to league action on Sunday action, with title glory within their reach after opening up a lead over rivals Rangers.

Celtic still have plenty of work to do, however – they meet the Gers once more at the start of May – and victory at fifth-place Ross County may not be easy.

Ahead of the game on Sunday though, the Hoops have received a big injury boost.

### The Latest: Giakoumakis passed fit

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/AlisonGConroy/status/1517479351587065856?s=20&t=HESBNfTyFyb5NgfSv3zKqQ) on Friday, reliable journalist Alison Conroy confirmed that Giakoumakis is officially back after recovering from a hamstring issue, delivering an emphatic four-word verdict:

> “Giorgos Giakoumakis is back.”

### The Verdict: Big boost for Hoops

This is an enormous positive for Celtic, who missed Giakoumakis’ firepower in last weekend’s Scottish Cup semi-final defeat to Rangers at Hampden Park.

The Greek goal machine has averaged a goal [every 96 minutes](https://www.sofascore.com/player/giorgos-giakoumakis/277365) for the Hoops this season, netting nine times in 16 league appearances, and a potentially tight game on Sunday could require him to take one chance with aplomb.

A win at Ross County would feel like another significant step towards the title and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the returning Giakoumakis be the match-winner.
