Giorgos Giakoumakis impresses

WHEN Kyogo Furuhashi was first sidelined, there was a slight fear over how Ange Postecoglou's side would cope without him.

Fast-forward to now, and it's more of a debate as to where the Japanese striker fits back into the Celtic side.

Giorgos Giakoumakis has excelled in recent weeks and looks every bit the £2.5million striker Celtic fans hoped for when he signed in the summer.

His hat-trick against Ross County only boosted his impressive goal return of eight goals in his last five outings - and 12 for the season.

On the wings Daizen Maeda and Jota both looked sharp at Celtic Park with Liel Abada also making a cameo appearance in the attacking third.

It prompts curiosity over how Kyogo will be reintroduced into the Celtic side with Postecoglou teasing the forward could be on his way back from injury on the other side of the international break.

Perfect result before international break

CELTIC couldn't have hoped for a better performance before players split up for the international break.

This wasn't just a scoreline - but a complete showing in-front of the thrilled supporters inside a sun-kissed Parkhead.

It pushes them to six points clear of Rangers at the top with their city rivals playing Dundee tomorrow.

It sets up a fascinating return to domestic action next month with top-of-the-table clashes and the split fast approaching.

But today for Postecoglou and his players it was very much job done before a break from domestic duties.

Rogic injury worry

ON a day of real success under the Angeball method there was just one lingering worry.

Celtic passed Ross County off the park and allowed few attempts on their own goal in a dominant performance in Glasgow.

But Tom Rogic's injury will be a concern going forward. The Australian limped off after just 28 minutes at Parkhead after a rash challenge from Kayne Ramsay.

The County man was ordered off for the tackle and just minutes later Rogic would follow him as he was substituted through injury.

Rogic had been called up to the Australia squad earlier this week but it remains to be seen how significant the injury sustained against County is.

Further to Rogic's injury, Celtic fans will now be holding out hope that their international stars return to Glasgow without any niggles picked up during the international fixtures.
