Kyogo 'raring to go' for Rangers as Ange Postecoglou reveals unseen Celtic bench anger that sparked Aberdeen role

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Ange Postecoglou saw his team rack up their ninth straight win to stay nine points clear of Rangers - then insisted it won’t make a blind bit of difference to next week’s Viaplay Cup final clash with their Glasgow rivals.The Celtic boss was delighted with yesterday’s 4-0 win over Aberdeen, which saw the Hoops take their goal tally for the season to an incredible 106 but Postecoglou is adamant that their sensational form will count for nothing at Hampden.

He said: “Cup football is cup football. In any round you go in with the possibility that irrespective of form any team can win it.“Even more so in a final.

We played Hibs last year and it was a pretty tight game. So from our perspective we are not going into it thinking anything other than we’ve got to be the best we can be to get the job done.

That’s what we do every week.”Celtic were given a boost by the availability of Kyogo Furuhashi, who got 20 minutes under his belt after fearing a shoulder injury could have ruled him out of the cup final - but it was his countryman Reo Hatate who stole the show against Aberdeen with a double to add to Callum McGregor’s goal in the second minute and Liel Abada’s in the closing stages.Postecoglou added: “Kyogo is fine, he is raring to go and looking forward to next week now.
