Kyogo Furuhashi notched his 28th goal of the 2022-23 season and his fifth in three games against Rangers by putting Celtic 2-1 ahead in Saturday's Glasgow Derby at Parkhead.

The Japanese striker pounced midway through the first half after excellent work down the left flank by Greg Taylor and Matt O'Riley fed him the ball in the middle of the penalty area.

Kyogo made no mistake but showed no end of poise to take a touch and swivel before firing past the helpless Allan McGregor in the Rangers goal.

James Tavernier equalised for Rangers before half-time with a sumptuous free kick before Furuhashi slammed home a second after a defensive howler from Ben Davies.

In the run-up to the match there were doubts over the fitness of Reo Hatate, Taylor and Aaron Mooy. Only Taylor and Mooy started with Hatate missing out entirely.

On the injury front, asked about Mooy Postecoglou replied: "He missed the last game, but he was close last week. He's trained all week and he's ready to go. Obviously, with Reo out, it's good to get him back in.

"There's no problem with Greg, he trained pretty much all week. 

"It's one of those games where everything is a lot closer than usual because everyone wants to play. They've convinced me they're ready to go."
