A brilliant clip of Kyogo from the Glasgow Derby highlights the forward’s remarkable work rate and commitment, epitomising the contrasting attitudes on display during the match.
Celtic secured a dominant 3-0 victory over Rangers, marking Rodgers’ fifteenth win against Rangers and extending Celtic’s series of victories at Paradise to five against their city rivals.
In the midst of the derby, when Celtic were 2-0 up, a notable moment captured Kyogo’s dedication; after a Celtic penalty appeal and a consequent counterattack by Rangers, Kyogo sprinted from the opposition’s box back to his own to support his defence. Alongside Liam Scales, he successfully dispossessed Tom Lawrence, illustrating the profound difference in mentality between the two sides.

The Contrasting Mentality on Show
This effort starkly contrasted with Rangers captain James Tavernier’s reaction during a separate Celtic counterattack.
Tavernier, having fallen at the halfway line, took his time getting up and then walked back slowly with his head down, even as Celtic continued their forward charge. This sequence, especially highlighted in the viral clip, underlines Kyogo’s relentless energy and the broader team spirit that fuels Celtic’s ongoing quest for their fourth consecutive title.
People can talk about the difference in quality on the pitch, but moments like that show the team’s togetherness, and without that, the players won’t be successful.
