Ange Postecoglou has defended Kyogo Furuhashi after labelling criticism against the Celtic fans' favourite as 'harsh'.
The Hoops star has seven goals in eight league outings to date ahead of today's clash against Hibs at Parkhead but he's struggled in the Champions League and yet to open his account. The Scottish champions have only picked up one point in the section and scored two goals in the process - with the Aussie boss pointing out goals are harder to come by at the elite level and that the Japan star hasn't been 'any less threatening'.
Celtic have created numerous big chances in their four Champions League games against Real Madrid, Shakhtar Donetsk and RB Leipzig twice but have failed to convert with the boss calling for his side to be more clinical in front of goal. They missed three big chances on matchday one against Real with the score level while they couldn't find the crucial second against Shakhtar in Poland, despite dominating for large spells.
