Celtic striker Kyogo was among the goals again on Sunday, scoring the opener for the bhoys as they ran riot at Rugby Park in a first half rout.
The Japanese frontman could have had another, but he hit the post from the spot when Celtic were awarded a penalty.
The bhoys were outstanding in the first half, but the game fizzled out in the second. The points were in the bag, but the Hoops weren’t as fluent.
Kyogo was taken off at half time so Oh could get some time on the field with South Korea boss Jurgen Klinsmann in attendance in Ayrshire. The game ending 4-1.
Celtic had won the game by half time and there was no point risking Kyogo’s fitness in the second half with a big semi-final around the corner.
The Bhoys take on The Rangers at Hampden at the end of April. We need our full team fit and available for the tie and giving some of our top stars a rest is imperative.
The style of football Celtic play means the players can risk burnout if not managed properly.
Kyogo was delighted with the game and his own contributions. Taking to social media on Sunday night, the wee man wrote:
Celtic have Motherwell next at Celtic Park before the split.
