Kyogo recalls Celtic debut 'who is this guy?' attitude and how injury return reception almost left him in tears

Kyogo Furuhashi has revealed the ‘who is this guy?’ attitude towards him in the Celtic dressing room when he rocked up for his debut.

The Japanese star was pitched into the squad for an opening day clash with Hearts at Tynecastle last August. He was named on the bench and came on in the second half with the score at 1-1 as the Hoops set about trying to regain their title from Rangers, champions in 2020/21

Former Celt Gary Mackay-Steven gave the Jambos an early lead before Anthony Ralston's stunner restored parity. However, Ange Postecoglou suffered a late blow during his first Premiership match in the dugout when John Souttar headed a late winner. Kyogo ’s cameo came to little as he struggled to get involved. That was understandable given he had yet to train with his new teammates. And he admitted that contributed to a quiet debut in the hoops.
