The Japanese trio of Daizen Maeda, Yosuke Ideguchi and Reo Hatate will join up with Kyogo and hope to emulate his success so far.

Kyogo has come in and hit the ground running with the bhoys. His performance while injured in the League Cup final was his best moment to date.

Not all will be able to have the start Kyogo has had but Ange will make sure they’re in the best place they can be to succeed at Celtic.

The winter break is currently in play but we could see all three debut in around two weeks time when Hibernian come to town.

We have no idea if the game will be played in front of fans at the moment.
