Kyogo Furuhashi has posted his first message since being racially abused.

The Japanese star was subject to vile chants and taunts on a video that surfaced online on Sunday afternoon. The clip showed what looked to be a group of Rangers fans on their way to the Ross County game revelling in racial slurs.

Celtic have called it out and the Ibrox club have opened an investigation.

The Hoops have also given Kyogo support in the aftermath of the video. The Celtic striker came out today with a short message that he will never walk alone.

I'll never walk alone 🙏🏼💚 #NoToRacism pic.twitter.com/GHUFO7weiZ

Kyogo would have seen the outpouring of support from the Celtic fans and other fans around the country.

He has only been here a month and because he’s been successful so far — rival fans feel he’s fair game for moronic and vile abuse. It’s not on and these fans must be dealt with severely.

It’s incredible the amount of hatred you must have to attack a lad who has just come to this country to do the job he loves.
