Kyogo Furuhashi joined Celtic Park on a four-year contract in 2021 and quickly established himself as an integral component of their success. Within just two seasons at Paradise he has already amassed two SPFL Premiership medals as well as winning both Scottish Cups.
Mark Hateley has warned Michael Beale of impending pressure if he fails to lead Rangers towards a treble challenge next season.
1. Kyogo Furuhashi’s Goal
Kyogo Furuhashi’s strike earned Celtic victory in the inaugural Old Firm derby of 2021. Since arriving from Japan in 2021, Furuhashi has proven himself an exceptional asset under Brendan Rodgers. Last season he set a club record by scoring eight trebles – and is already off to an excellent start this campaign.
Just before half-time, 20-year-old forward Aaron Crowe scored after Connor Goldson allowed Matt O’Riley to set him loose from Matt O’Riley’s clearance for him to strike at Jack Butland and put the Hoops ahead.
Parkhead supporters celebrated what seemed to be an unlikely win as their visitors’ fans were silenced by Parkhead faithful who celebrated an unexpected victory. Liel Abada nearly scored on an amazing run but his effort was saved by Butland. Rodgers praised his young side for playing like men under pressure from arch rivals; yet that praise meant nothing without results being delivered on game days like Glasgow.
2. Celtic’s Victory
Kyogo Furuhashi’s superb performance earned Celtic an emphatic win against Old Firm rivals Rangers on Friday afternoon, dispelling early doubts regarding Brendan Rodgers’ second stint as Parkhead manager.
Rabbi Matondo’s attempt inside the first minute was disallowed due to offside, while Kemar Roofe saw his goal disallowed due to Cyriel Dessers’ contentious foul on Gustaf Lagerbielke by Cyriel Dessers.
Defending champions Celtic were in complete control from start to finish and it showed. From Connor Goldson’s lazy header which was parried away by Gordon to Odin Holm’s powerful drive that was expertly saved by Jack Butland’s saves. Sam Lammers wasted a good opportunity at pulling one back but his shot ended up hitting the side-netting as Rangers ended their day on an embarrassing note and now sit four points behind Glasgow neighbours with eight league fixtures remaining.

3. Kyogo Furuhashi’s Goal Highlights His Talent
Kyogo Furuhashi’s controversial goal gave Celtic an important win against Rangers in their Scottish Premiership clash, taking advantage of a tight offside call to side-foot home Anthony Ralston’s cross and hand Brendan Rodgers his first Old Firm triumph in Glasgow.
Former Vissel Kobe striker Davie Propper has drawn comparisons with Iniesta and Samuel Eto’o, and delivered another impressive display for Celtic against AZ Alkmaar on Saturday. Propper set the pace early by side-footing home Liel Abada’s pass from the right in the 26th minute for Celtic’s 4-0 win at Parkhead.
Japanese forward Yuto Nagatomo had another goal ruled out for offside but refused to be deterred, capitalizing on more lax defending by the hosts and then squared the ball to Kemar Roofe; however referee Don Robertson consulted VAR and decided not to cancel out Cyriel Dessers’ controversial foul on Gustaf Lagerbielke and therefore cancelled out this strike.

4. Kyogo Furuhashi’s Goal Highlights His Importance
Kyogo Furuhashi understands the impact Jock Stein’s Lisbon Lions had on Celtic. The striker quickly noticed the pictures hanging along Parkhead corridors depicting our legendary players, and is eager to earn his own place alongside them.
Already he is making strides toward his goal, having scored over 50 goals across just 111 appearances for Celtic. These goals include both league double and League Cup triumphantly clinched as career highlights.
Furuhashi emerged as an essential cog in Celtic’s machine against AZ Alkmaar with his goal against John Souttar too deep for his liking, diverting an Abada cross expertly past Souttar for Furuhashi to divert into goal and give Celtic an early first-half advantage against them. Postecoglou’s efforts to get Furuhashi signed from Japan won’t know until it comes time to test himself, but early indications show it may prove successful; let alone his influence against his former Vissel Kobe forward teammate Vissel Kobe striker was undoubtedly successful – let alone whether his coaxing will work, but let’s just say that Furuhashi’s debut played his part – starting right at home against Alkmaar!
