Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou has provided a fresh transfer update on striker Giorgos Giakoumakis.

The Australian was speaking after his side defeated St Mirren 4-0 and made clear the 28-year-old is very much part of his plans.

Giakoumakis has been the subject of much transfer speculation since before the transfer window.

"I am just dealing with what is in front of me until I hear otherwise or something significant happens," Postecoglou said at full-time when asked about the Greece international's future at Parkhead.

"He was here tonight, mate, so you could have asked him yourself. He's still very much a part of our set up. He would have been involved tonight if he was not injured."

The 57-year-old also praised his side after they thrashed the Buddies in what was another comfortable game for the Scottish champions.

A goal from Liel Abada, followed by a double from Kyogo Furuhashi and a late wonder strike from David Turnbull sealed the three points for Celtic.

And Postecoglou was keen to single out new boy Yuki Kobayashi after he made his debut as well as Kyogo.

He told Celtic TV: "I mean like I said before the game he's only a young guy, still getting to grips with football here and life here. But I thought he handled himself well.

'They're a physical team, they're pretty direct and he had to deal with a few things. I think he showed his qualities on the ball and he'll get better from that.

 "I think Kyogo's been on fire for quite a while but it's just his movement, and the quality of his finishing is always there.

"Yeah, I was really, really pleased with the quality of our goals tonight. Two trademark Kyogo goals, a set-piece and then even Dave (Turnbull's) great strike so, yeah, really good goals."
