Kyogo in Celtic vs Rangers injury blow as Japanese star is forced off after just four minutes

There was an early injury blow for Celtic in the first Old Firm clash of the season with Kyogo going off after just four minutes.

The Japanese star was in red hot form going into the clash after his first half hat-trick in last week’s 9–0 demolition away to Dundee United. He was seen as one of the main threats for Ange Postecoglou ’s team as they look to continue their three-match unbeaten league run against their greatest rivals.

But they’ll have to do it without Kyogo after he was forced out of the action shortly after kick-off. In a tussle on the far side of the pitch in the Hoops hald, Malik Tillman battle for possession and Kyogo added his presence to try and win the ball back for Celtic. So too though, did John Lundstram, who came in hard and fair to make a tackle and win the ball.
