Kyogo Furuhashi has been backed to be 'strong' in the Champions League next season.
Celtic are on course for a second successive group stage bid with Ange Postecoglou's men sitting nine points clear of Rangers in the race for the Scottish Premiership title. They still have to face Michael Beale's men twice in the final nine games - but have only lost out on one occasion in the top flight this season.
The Hoops played in the tournament proper of Europe's elite competition this season and earned plaudits but ultimately finished bottom of their section without a win. Big chances missed proved to be a common theme in the six games with Kyogo drawing a blank in the competition, despite hitting a whopping 26 goals in all competitions so far this campaign.
