The Kyogo Celtic scenario nobody would have predicted but Brendan Rodgers' words prove one thing

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Birthday boy Kyogo Furuhashi has ticked every big-game box as a Celtic player.But Wednesday night’s seismic Champions League crunch against Young Boys offers the Japanese an opportunity to present Celtic the gift of his crowning glory.

Despite not scoring in the last two games, the livewire looks ready to take it. For three-and-a-half years, Kyogo, who turns 30 on Tuesday, has stepped up to every mark.In the biggest games on the most-vital of occasions, the attacker has come up trumps.

Domestically, he has been the club’s go-to man from from virtually the moment he walked in the front door. In his very first Final as a Celtic player, he dragged the team off the canvas at 1-0 down to Hibs to strike twice and secure the League Cup and Hampden has since become a home-from home with the scrutiny of more major occasions being taken easily in his lightning stride.Old Firm matches have become Kyogo days.

He has made it his business to carve apart a Rangers backline. His early experiences on the continent were in the Europa League and he scored on debut against FK Jablonec under Ange Postecoglou.Naturally, the step up to the stiffer challenges of Champions League under the Aussie took some time for adjustment.
