Hampden hero Kyogo Furuhashi insists Celtic are determined to prove they’ll be the ones smiling by the end of the season.
He fired Celtic to Viaplay Cup glory with his deadly double against arch rivals Rangers. Kyogo stuck two past Hibs in the final last season and became the first Celt to make it back-to-back braces in the League Cup showpiece since Billy McPhail completed the feat with his hat-trick in the famous 7-1 win against Rangers in 1957.
Celtic were riled up by Rangers wideman Fashion Sakala claiming his side were better than the champions in the build up. But the Parkhead men produced a show of power as they completed the first leg of a Treble yesterday with their seventh League Cup win in nine years, with a commanding Premiership lead and the Scottish Cup to come. But history-maker Kyogo said: “I just want to smile at the end of the season with the rest of the team.”
