Georgios Samaras commited to Celtic

Georgios Samaras insists he remains committed to Celtic despite concerns over his contract situation at Parkhead.

The Greece international’s current deal expires at the end of the season and Samaras has yet to sign a new contract.

Samaras, who joined Celtic from Manchester City in 2008 on a permanent basis after a successful loan spell, is confident he will pledge his long-term future to the Scottish giants by agreeing a new deal.

“I am fully committed to Celtic. I’ve had six years here and they have given me everything,” Samaras told the Daily Record.

“I am almost 13 years away from my home country and trust me, it is not easy to be away from family and friends for so long.

“But even in the tough periods I feel Celtic is my home.

“Both of the sides want me to stay and in the end there will be a solution.”
