Celtic boss Gordon Strachan is hopeful that there is still more to come from in-form Bhoys striker Georgios Samaras.

The 23-year-old Greece international netted twice in the 4-0 Co-operative Insurance Cup win over Livingston on Tuesday evening to take his tally to nine goals in his last six games.

Strachan said afterwards: "I don't know if he is at the top of his game but I hope he's not. He wants to do a lot better.

"You are talking about a guy who literally can't get enough information. When you talk to him, you can tell in his eyes that he wants to do better.

"We do set-plays and you can guarantee that two players will forget, but he never forgets anything, he actually tells them where to go so he is listening to everything that we say.

"At the moment he is playing top football, although I think he was helped by a lot of the good players in the team which helps if you are an attacking player.

"But you judge people by the end of their contract, sometimes we get too excited right away and we get too negative right away. We should wait to the end of the season."
