Celtic goal machine Kyogo knows it will be impossible to nudge the Lisbon Lions out of the picture. But it would still be nice to be in a frame alongside the Parkhead legends.
Ange Postecoglou’s champions spilled a couple of points against St Mirren at the weekend but the 2-2 draw fired the class of 2023 to 107 league goals for the season. Kyogo and Callum McGregor took the current side’s tally beyond the 106 managed by Brendan Rodgers’ Invincibles in 2016/17 – and made it the biggest hail since Jock Stein’s heroes hit 111 in their record breaking clean sweep campaign in 1967.
Kyogo has seen the pictures on the Parkhead walls and heard the stories about the icons of the sixties. And he’d love to be able to at least match their magical total from 55 years ago. The Japanese sensation said: “We need four more goals to match that record. Can I score four more? I don’t know if I can do it! But as a team, I believe it is definitely achievable in the remaining two games.
