Celtic striker Kyogo Furuhashi is already looking forward to the Hoops’ trip to Croatia on Tuesday after netting off the bench in their 3-0 win over Hibernian yesterday.
The Japanese frontman was introduced with 22 minutes to go, taking Adam Idah’s place up top.
Kyogo made a positive impact on proceedings, netting his side’s third of the afternoon shortly after being introduced.
The striker’s fellow substitute, James Forrest, won the ball back high up the pitch and, after playing an effective one-two with Reo Hatate, fired it into Kyogo, who expertly controlled the ball on his instep. He then sat Hibs goalkeeper Matt Smith down before lifting it over him and into the back of the net.
It was the 29-year-old’s eighth of the season, and he is already hungry for more ahead of Celtic’s return to UEFA Champions League action on Tuesday.
Indeed, after netting yesterday, Kyogo took to Instagram this morning, vowing to do his best in the next game:

After moving nine points clear of Aberdeen with a game in hand at the top of the Scottish Premiership on Saturday, Celtic’s focus now shifts back to the European scene.
The Bhoys know a victory over Dinamo on Tuesday would all but guarantee a place in the playoffs for the last 16 of the Champions League in what could be a season-defining week for Brendan Rodgers’ men.
