Celtic have tonight fully condemned any racist behaviour that has been directed at their striker Kyogo Furuhashi.
Social media uncovered some vile clips of what appears to be a group of fans of The Rangers Football club partaking in disgusting gravest behaviour.
The Ibrox club are now investigating the clips involved and Celtic have made it clear ALL forms of bigotry are unacceptable.
Unfortunately, a number of Celtic players in recent years have suffered similar racist abuse.

As a club open to all, we stand firmly against racism in all its forms and we will give Kyogo our full support.
All stakeholders must work together in tackling all forms of bigotry.
Kyogo hasn’t even been here a proper month yet but has made a big impression on the Celtic support. Not just for his goal a but his attitude and humble demeanour.
It’s so disheartening to hear such abuse aimed at a lad who has just come to this country. There’s no place for it at all and the Ibrox club must be open and transparent on how they deal with the culprits.
Kick racists out of football — we live in difficult times and the ridiculousness of racially abusing someone because they play for a rival team is disgusting and backwards.
