Ange Postecoglou says there's been one player he knew would be a roaring Celtic success as soon as pen was to paper on a contract - Kyogo Furuhashi.
The Japanese striker has been an integral part of the Australian boss' plans since the summer of 2021, when he was brought in from Vissel Kobe. He has scored huge goals for the Hoops like doubles in both League Cup finals during his time in Glasgow, on top of an abundance of Premiership strikes.
Speaking to Celtic TV, Postecoglou reflected on Kyogo's first hat-trick in Scotland during a 6-0 thrashing of Dundee, as the Parkhead gaffer celebrates reaching 100 games in the job. His recruitment has been widely lauded since his arrival but his number eight has special praise reserved: "It was huge. In those early days whilst I was trying really hard to put the framework together on how I wanted us to play our football, there was very little evidence of it for supporters.
