Ally McCoist and Chris Sutton went at it over whether or not Kyogo could play in the English Premier League.
The Celtic star took his tally for the season to 25 with the second goal in the champions’ 3-1 win over Hearts in midweek. The teams do battle again this weekend with Ange Postecoglou taking his side to Tynecastle for a Scottish Cup quarter-final clash. Kyogo has scored five in five against the Jambos, who’s own hitman, Lawrence Shankland, is on 21 for the campaign but is a major injury doubt.
McCoist, who queried whether Kyogo could cut it at a higher level, stood by his assertion despite Sutton ’s incredulity, citing the Japanese star’s Viaplay Cup final double against the Gers and goal tally so far. But McCoist pointed to a previous Celtic export to the self proclaimed “best league in the world” as to why he remains to be convinced about Kyogo doing the business in England.
