Kyogo Furuhashi will always be an icon at Celtic.
The Japanese striker left the club at the end of January as Kyogo joined Rennes in the winter transfer window.
However, despite getting his £10m move, Kyogo has struggled to get regular first-team football since his Celtic exit but in a recent promotion in his new league, the Japan international proved that the Hoops are still close to his heart.
In a TikTok by Ligue 1, Kyogo played ‘Winner Stays On’, where the former Celtic striker is asked to pick his favourite Japanese player until one popped up that showed the Parkhead club is still close to his heart.

Kyogo picks Celtic icon Shunsuke Nakamura over Man United hero
Shunsuke Nakamura will always be loved by Celtic fans all over the world, especially for providing them with that magical Manchester United Champions League moment.
But when Kyogo was faced of picking between Nakamura and former Man United midfielder and Premier League winner Shii Kagawa, there was only one winner.
Clearly a huge fan of Nakamura, Kyogo wears his Celtic heart on his sleeve by holding the Japanese legend in such high regard.
