Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou says his team will "need" Kyogo if they are to emerge victorious from Sunday's clash with Rangers.
But he insists that doesn't necessarily mean Giorgos Giakoumakis will be consigned to a spot on the bench.
The Hoops face Gers in the final derby of the season and could effectively win the Premiership with three points.
A win would put Celtic nine points clear with three to play but their far superior goal difference would leave Gio van Bronckhorst 's team needing a near-impossible swing.
Much has been made about who will start up front for the league leaders who finally have the luxury of both Kyogo and Giorgos Giakoumakis available.
Kyogo was the main man in the first half of the season and he was back among the goals against Ross County after a long injury layoff.
But Giakoumakis has been firing too and fans are buzzing about the prospect of the 30-goal duo linking up on the pitch.
Postecoglou says they will need Kyogo come Sunday - hinting he will be in the starting lineup for the third straight game.
But he's refused to rule out starting his two marksmen together as they look to get the league title over the line.
He told Sky Sports: "Kyogo is a special player. We saw at the start of the year, he came in and straight away hit the ground running. Everyone could see what a special player he was.
"He has that unique quality that only certain kinds of players have in games. We've seen it before in big games where he wants to be the man in that position and more often than not he takes it.
"His movement is unbelievable and he's just got a really strong mentality in himself. When the big moments arrive, he wants to be the man and we're going to need that on Sunday.
"We can play them both. From my perspective, every week you've got to look at the team and go with the lineup that will give us the best chance of success.
"It's not always about who starts. What's made us stronger since January is we've had contributions from most of the players.
"Giakoumakis or Kyogo, that was the tough one for us but we've got both now and they can both start. But if one of them starts, we know the other one can come on and make an impact.
"That's going to be important."
