Kyogo netted a double for Celtic as they romped to a 4-1 win at Ross County this afternoon.

The Japanese international has 12 goals in all competitions this season so far including his brace in Dingwall.

It has been a slow start to the Atlanta-linked striker‘s season by his own standards with the previous two years bearing more fruit than this term.

Still, the quiet Celtic man understands that more than anyone.

His first strike at County was a deft touch from a superb Alistair Johnston cross.

His second was a fine header from a deflected Arne Engels delivery.

Kyogo admits he misses too many chances for Celtic

It was a comfortable win for Celtic in the end despite VAR intervention and the fact that the Staggies kept the door shut well enough at their defensive end as Brendan Rodgers‘ side pushed for 100 minutes to win the game.

Celts had 27 total attempts on goal with 13 on target but they found goalkeeper Jordan Amissah in fine form.

But that is where Kyogo admits he has found it difficult in recent times even despite his two goals today.

The player was humble enough at full-time as he accepted his Sky Sports man of the match trophy to acknowledge that he misses too many chances for Celtic.

As he was asked about his goals, Kyogo’s honesty shone through as he spoke about helping his teammates towards three points and opening up a staggering 18 point lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership.

How Kyogo’s stats compare this season to last

He said: “I am happy to help the team, but I had a lot of shots.

“So I have to improve.”

The attacker, 29, also reacted with a smile when asked about Johnston’s cross for his first finish.

He added: “What a ball!”
