Everything Giorgos Giakoumakis said to Premier Sports after Celtic's 2-1 win over Alloa Athletic...

How happy are you to get into the next round?

Of course, we're very happy. We won a game that was tough with some challenges and a lot of duels. We scored two goals but I think we could've scored more, especially me. But we're happy, we're in the next round and we're pleased.

Is that something the team is looking to do - when you're so dominant to get further in front so teams can't give you a problem late on?

No matter what team we face we like to stick to our plan and play our game - whether it's (against teams from) the Premiership or the second or third division we will play the same way. We want to go until the end - if it's possible the target is to win the cup. But we will see, game-by-game.

How did it feel to get back amongst the goals?

First of all, I'm really happy because I stayed out for almost two months. I had an injury that wasn't that small - my meniscus (knee). I stayed out for a long time and the most important thing for me is that I can play again and help my team. I feel good, I feel fit and, of course, the goals for me are my fuel to continue. 

How much are you looking forward to the second half of the season?

Yeah, I was super unlucky. For me, the season starts now. I hope I can be healthy to the end and enjoy what I do.
