CELTIC fans have been raving about the performances of Kyogo Furuhashi this season, and The Rangers manager, Michael Beale, has joined the hype acknowledging the Hoops hitman as “the outstanding player“ of the season.
Beale has conceded the title race is over, and credits Kyogo as one of the reasons for Celtic‘s success.
Kyogo has scored five goals in his last three Glasgow Derby clashes, and is poised to be the biggest threat to Beale‘s Scottish Cup holders when they meet in today’s semi–final. Speaking about Kyogo,
Beale said: [The Sun]
“I don’t remember Kyogo missing a chance, but I remember us having opportunities that we missed.
“Over the course of the season he’s probably been the most outstanding player in the league, and that will be shown at the end of the season.
“They have won two competitions already and he has been the outstanding player. He’s taken his chances.
“There’s a stat that says we’ve had the most shots and the most shots on target. We’re not a million miles out in terms of clean sheets.
“But a clinical No9 is one of the reasons why Celtic have done well. He’s an excellent player.”
It’s surprising, and slightly worrying, to see Beale speak some sense. Someone better check on him!
Kyogo will be looking to continue his derby form, knowing that he can equal a record on Sunday, before looking to break Larsson’s record of the most derby goals scored in a season.
