    Looks like he’s carrying at least half a stone more than he should be and was puffing and panting like me at fives after 10 minutes.

    He’s clearly miles off it fitness wise even still.

    Nothing to judge him on..

    Wasn't slow despite being miles off it and did press quite well once or twice..

    I’m judging him off the fact he’s a professional athlete that came on after 70 mins and looked like an alky chain smoker at 90 minutes!

    He is seriously not ready to be playing, which is a major concern given he’s been in and training for a number of weeks now.

    Then got injured in a warm-up, last week..

    He was injured and didn't get a pre season or any of his club's first few game's either..

    Just good to get him on the pitch.
    Am looking forward to him, Gogo and Jota playing together up top.

    Nothing to judge him on, and I don’t want to sound hyperbolic but he’s better than Larsson

    Good to finally see him. Hopefully gets longer against Aberdeen and we can get a look at him. Would have started him but now that Kyogos back early then he will quite rightly play.

    Ominous vibes considering how far away from being ready he is.

    One player who will looking to make an impact in the weeks and months ahead is Giorgos Giakomouakis.

    The Greek striker, signed from Dutch side VVV Venlo at the end of the transfer window, had to quarantine before joining up with his new team-mates. That, allied to the fact he had no pre-season preparations behind him, meant that he was always going to be playing catch-up in terms of fitness.

    The last couple of weeks, therefore, have been ideal for the 26-year-old, as his manager explained.

    “It was always going to take Giorgos a little bit of time so I’ve really pleased that we’ve got this two weeks into him,” the Hoops boss said.

    'I think he’s happier in himself that when he gets the opportunity now he’ll be much better prepared to make an impact, and that’s why we brought him here – to make an impact.'

    "We really believe he’s got the attributes we need and, again, for me, it just makes the world of difference knowing that with him

    Need him to be a success, we've got little cover there and it's vital he performs so we can utilise Kyogo better and rest him for an extended period soon
