Ange Postecoglou can’t be certain that Kyogo Furuhashi will rack up four in a row.
But the Celtic manager can guarantee he’s going to get another top-class display out of the Japanese striker at Hampden. Kyogo heads into the Scottish Cup semi-final against Rangers on a blistering run of Old Firm form. The fans’ favourite has smashed five goals in his last three games against the Ibrox side, including two at the National Stadium to help his team win the Viaplay Cup Final.
Kyogo already has 29 goals in the bag this term and can become the first in the fixture to score in four successive matches since John Collins almost three decades ago. Postecoglou’s faith in the hitman is unswerving and, while he can’t be sure the striker will again bulge the net, he knows his performance is likely to again be tip-top. He said: “What you’ve done previously has very little relevance to what happens on Sunday. What’s important is that we go out there and play our football and that’s what Kyogo has done whether he was scoring goals or not.
