Kyogo reveals ultimate Celtic ambition and the hero every fan wants to ask questions about

Celtic hero Kyogo is determined to build a Parkhead legacy to last after being blown away by the love on show for Shunsuke Nakamura.

The 27-year-old has been a roaring success in Glasgow and already compares favourably to the free-kick maestro who thrilled punters 15 years ago. And Kyogo admits Nakamura was the name on every supporter's tongue upon arrival as they raved about the man who was a smash-hit during Gordon Strachan 's tenure – which included three consecutive league title triumphs.

The former Parkhead star still has Celtic on his mind and met up with fellow Japanese star Reo Hatate to share stories about life starring for the Scottish Premiership champions. And Kyogo admits he doesn't feel extra pressure in trying to live up to a player who made a telling impact in European football, en route to two trips to the last 16 of the Champions League.
