Kyogo in Celtic 'honour' admission as hitman names three player of the year contenders

Kyogo admits it is an 'honour' to play alongside fellow countryman and Celtic star Reo Hatate.

The striker, who has hit 20-plus goals so far this season, admits he is pleased to hear he is being touted for the Hoops' Player of the Year award but revealed that playing alongside on-form Hatate is a real honour. The two Japanese stars have been central to Ange Postecoglou's success this season in league action, with a points difference of nine points over rivals Rangers in their plight to retain the trophy.

And who has been the best in green and white is a question that the 28-year-old admits is tough to answer, but that he would name Hatate as one of the most talented at Parkhead. Kyogo also heaped praise on Celtic's defensive team, while mentioning captain Callum McGregor among the contenders.
