Giorgos Giakoumakis and the Celtic transfer advice from Hearts hero that led goal machine to Glasgow

Giorgos Giakoumakis isn’t afraid to talk the talk and the Celtic hitman proved he can walk the walk as well.

But Takis Fyssas reckons the frontman will be true to his word and run amok when he's at full tilt next term.

Giamoumakis was the star of the second half of the campaign, with the 27-year-old notching 16 times from the turn of the year to end up joint top scorer in Scotland.

The former AEK Athens man knows how to find the net and can rattle some cages as well.

Giakoumakis was proved right when he claimed back in February Celts would finish champions and he had the crystal ball out after the title was won when he declared his aim to be the outright top marksman in this country in the coming campaign.

Former Hearts favourite Fyssas isn’t surprised to see the big striker oozing confidence and he also believes Celtic fans have yet to see the best of the ex-VVV Venlo poacher.

The Greece sporting director works closely with national boss Gus Poyet and is looking forward to hooking up with the hitman this week as the national side gear up for Nations League clashes with Northern Ireland and Cyprus and a double header against Kosovo.

Fyssas helped persuade Giakoumakis move to Scotland – and he’s predicting big things for the marksman for Celts at home and in the Champions League.

He said: “When I heard Celtic were interested in him and he wanted to move there I spoke to him about Scottish football.

“I told him that the Scottish league would be perfect for him.

“He’s strong, he’s clever, he scores goals, he works for the team and he had the right experience to do well.

“But I think he can do even better next season with Celtic,

“I hope he doesn’t do well against Hearts and I joked with him not to play so well against
