CELTIC star Kyogo has limped off injured versus St Johnstone this afternoon.

For the second time in three-weeks, the Japanese striker hobbled off the field while appearing to hold his hamstring. 

Kyogo was a major doubt for last week's League Cup final against Hibs after going off injured in the final Europa League group game against Real Betis earlier this month. 

He of course recovered in time to play the leading role in the cup final, by bagging a double to win the trophy for the Parkhead outfit. 

One week on though, and he appears to be struggling with injury again.

James McCarthy played a long-ball over the top of the St Johnstone defence for Kyogo to chase on-to. 

However, he pulled up while stretching to reach the pass and as a result has been forced to come off. 

The striker appeared to be holding his right hamstring while down on the ground. 

Celtic took no chances with their star man, as Ange Postecoglou subbed Kyogo off immediately. 

He was replaced by 18-year-old Joey Dawson.
