Kyogo Furuhashi is literally a modern-day Celtic icon.
The Japanese striker was key to wrestling control from Rangers after the COVID season as Kyogo tore it up for Celtic in the three years he was at the club.
Kyogo won four league titles, two Scottish Cups and two League Cups in a trophy-laden spell at Celtic that included a record-breaking eighth domestic treble.
After a disastrous spell at Rennes, Kyogo is now at Birmingham City, and after his performance last night, the Blues fans are absolutely loving the former Celtic striker.
Celtic hero Kyogo Furuhashi blows Birmingham City fans away
Kyogo scored his first goal for Birmingham in a 2-1 EFL Cup win over Sheffield United last night.
And his goal has left Birmingham fans singing the Celtic hero’s praises.
@matbcfc makes a big goalscoring prediction and said, “Bit of composure and he’s scoring 50 goals this season.”
Another fan said, “Once he gets his groove, he will tear some of these Championship teams in half because he’s one of the sharpest strikers I’ve ever seen at Blues. Clearly got ability.”
Another Blues fan reckons Kyogo is the fastest player he’s seen and said, “Quickest player to pull on a Blues jersey in years.
“A delight to watch at Celtic, now bringing it here too.”
Celtic fans were correct when they said Kyogo would tear that league apart.
Two games in and the 30-year-old is already drawing some incredible plaudits.
