Celtic fans love what Kyogo said straight after his goal v Rangers

Celtic fans are expressing their love for Kyogo Furuhashi after watching his post-match interview following the victory v Rangers.

Brendan Rodgers' side cruised to a comfortable 3-0 win at Parkhead thanks to goals from Kyogo, Daizen Maeda and Callum McGregor as they kept up their unbeaten Old Firm run.

Following the game, the Japan international took part in an interview with Celtic TV (1 September), and he shared: "I didn't see the goalkeeper. I just thought 'Oh, I can shoot', I shoot, and goal! Yeah!"

He celebrated again in the press room after explaining his thought process, with the clip shared by fans on social media.

That goal has now seen the striker find the net eight times in 10 starts against their bitter Glasgow rivals, and six times in their last six league meetings.

It also left Rangers fans fuming at Jack Butland after the goalkeeper's attempts to save the long-range effort which was kept low and fired into the corner.

Since joining the Hoops in 2021, Kyogo has made 136 appearances, scoring 73 goals while establishing himself as a firm fans' favourite.

The striker had been linked with a move to English champions Manchester City during the transfer window, but fans were delighted no deal materialised.

Now, following his strike against Rangers in the Old Firm, fans are once again expressing their admiration for a player who has been so important for them in recent years.
