Kyogo fancied Rangers hat-trick as Celtic hitman explains thinking behind 'beautifully' struck double

Kyogo Furuhashi admits he fancied a chance at a hat-trick against Rangers but heaped praise on his Celtic team-mates for their part in his derby double.

The Japanese hitman made it five goals in three games against Michael Beale's side after he rescued a point in January at Ibrox before netting a double to win the Viaplay Cup for Ange Postecoglou's side. It was a first goal against Rangers at Parkhead for the 28-year-old when he opened the scoring last weekend before capitalising on a Ben Davies error to make it a brace.

Kyogo now has a whopping 28 goals in all competitions for Celtic this campaign and looks set to add another medal to his trophy haul with Postecoglou's men twelve points clear and two games to go prior to the split. But the forward explained his thinking behind his derby double and admits he would have loved a go at a trio of goals.
