I’m going to start by making the most obvious statement here. We all love Kyogo. Every single Celtic fan. Of that there can be no doubt.
When he’s not in the team, we miss him. The teams performance is not the same as that high energy that he brings is clearly one of the traits that Ange Postecoglou seen in the Japanese striker that made him shell out £4.5m to secure his services.
As Kyogo returned to Scottish league business today, so did his goal scoring exploits.
It took him just twelve minutes to put the ball in the back of the net and if wasn’t for Jota’s silly foul in the second half, he would have had a second as his little nod in was chalked off.
Kyogo was trending on Twitter after his goal and a number of celebrity fans were loving Celtic’s hitman’s return to first team action:
Clever finish from Kyogo👏👏

Kyogo can score using anything:
Kyogo can even score with his sternum.

There is absolutely no doubt that Kyogo’s return brings back the energy to the team and that has been witnessed over the last two fixtures and I’ll leave the last word to DAZN Japan whose tweet went to over half a million followers, sums up our striker perfectly, “Excellent scoring sensation Push in with your chest and score first “
