An announcement on Giorgos Giakoumakis' Celtic departure is forthcoming.

Ange Postecoglou has revealed he expects a conclusion to the transfer saga sooner rather than later.

The Greek striker has been linked with an exit from Parkhead for the last few months.

The 28-year-old had reportedly grown unhappy with his lack of first team minutes, as well as his salary.

Speaking on Friday, Postecoglou revealed that it was no longer an issue he was dealing with.

After his side's 4-1 win over St Johnstone today, the boss hinted that an announcement could be imminent. 

He's poised to join MLS outfit Atlanta United with their transfer window still open.

Asked on BBC Sportsound if there was a particular reason for the hold-up, Postecoglou said: "No, that's what I meant by it's off my radar.

"I'm led to believe there should be an announcement forthcoming so I know everyone else is hanging on for it, but as I said the other day it's off my desk."

Meanwhile, on today's victory itself, Postecoglou says there's more to come from his men.

He added: "Conditions weren't easy, particularly the pitch, and we had to sort of overcome that and not steer too far away from our football.

"I thought we did that but because of the nature of the game, and obviously the pitch, there were times we had to defend. I thought we did that really well as well, which was good to see, and we got four good goals.

"It was important because, as the game wore on, the pitch got more and more cut up which meant there was going to be more mistakes, it'd be harder for us to move the ball quickly. Having said that, some of our football was excellent."
