Celtic striker Georgios Samaras could make a welcome comeback against bottom club Dundee this weekend.

"He is now a top, top, European forward" - Neil Lennon
The Greek international hasn't played since damaging his hamstring in the victory against Kilmarnock at the end of last month but is now back in training.

Manager Neil Lennon believes Samaras is a far more consistent performer of late and was seriously missed in the recent Champions League tie with Juventus. He also considers the 27-year-old forward as a really key figure for the second-leg in a fortnight's time.

"Samaras is an amazing player, and he is a talent," Lennon told the
Glasgow Evening Times. "He has a boundless amount of energy and just keeps going right to the final whistle. He gets stronger as games go on.

"I knew he was talented, but he was very hit and miss. We had a long chat one day and he has never really looked back ever since then," he added. "While I have shown a lot of faith in him, he has repaid it in bundles. He is now a top, top, European forward."
