Celtic's Kyogo Furuhashi has won William Hill's Scottish Premiership Goal of the Month for December.
The Japanese forward – who has now netted 10 times so far this season – scored his side's third and final goal in a 3-0 win over Hibs on December 7, when he fastened onto a neat through ball from teammate James Forrest.
The 29-year-old then took a sublime touch with his right foot as he jumped over pass in order to shift his momentum, before dinking the ball over the oncoming goalkeeper into the net.
The move in its entirety was class – from Celtic hounding Hibs into losing possession deep inside their own half, Hatate moving the ball on to Forrest, and then all of the above.
Here it is again, as per The Warm Up X account, in motion:

Despite facing criticism from some corners for his lack of goals so far this season (in comparison to previous years), the above showcases the Japanese frontman at his very best.
In Celtic's final game of the year against St Johnstone last weekend, Kyogo netted a brace in the home side's 4-0 win. Nicolas Kuhn and Daizen Maeda rounded out the scoresheet on the day.
Celtic now prepare for their first game of 2025 against Rangers at Ibrox on Thursday, January 2.
