He was linked with a surprise return to Scotland with Hibernian during the January window, but former Hoops boss Neil Lennon denied any interest in his signing his former teammate.

The Greek international spent six highly successful years at Parkhead and won four titles, two Scottish Cups and a League Cup winners' medal.

He then moved to the Premier League with West Bromwich.

He made only eight appearances for the Baggies before heading to Saudi side Al-Hilal and then on the United States.
