A CELTIC star has shown his dedication by wearing the club colours at the birth of his daughter.

Striker Giorgos Giakoumakis, who was notably absent from Celtic's recent friendlies against Blackburn Rovers and Legia Warsaw, is currently back home in Greece to welcome his little one.

The 27-year-old shared an adorable photo of him holding his baby girl in a hospital in Heraklion. 

He captioned the photo: "Welcome princess."

While Giakoumakis received the usual congratulations from teammates past and present including Liel Abada and Nir Bitton, some fans commented on his choice of attire for the special moment. 

One commented: "Celtic shorts in the hospital when your girlfriend is giving birth, what a man."

Another said: "Great, very fashionable look to have in the hospital when your missus is in labour."
