Matt O'Riley reckons Kyogo Furuhashi could miss four open goals and still be smiling because he’s the nicest guy he’s met.
But the Parkhead midfielder says the graft that goes with such happiness sums up the entire dressing room perfectly – and helps the grinners be winners. Kyogo is the Hoops’ happy assassin. His infectious personality is coupled with a stylish 49-goal haul since arriving in Glasgow. That would’ve risen to the half century had the Asian ace not squandered a penalty opportunity at Kilmarnock.
With a Rugby Park goal already in the bag to move onto the brink of the 50, Kyogo had an ideal chance from 12 yards to claim the landmark. The subsequent miss was uncharacteristic but the refusal to let it get him down was not. O’Riley said: “He’s probably the nicest man I’ve ever met. That guy could miss four open goals in a game and still be smiling, which I find incredible. It shows the kind of guy he is and it’s really nice to have someone like that in your team.
