Kyogo Furuhashi and many of his Celtic teammates received exclusive copies of the popular video  game - EA Sports FC (known to most as FIFA) on Friday. 

The striker was certainly in no mood to discuss his rating which was attached on the front cover though, with exclusive footage from Celtic TV showing the Japanese star to literally do a runner as soon as he was handed the game.

(Image: Celtic TV) “See ya” was his words while he quickly ran up the steps inside the Hoops' Lennoxtown training facility before finally shouting "thank you".

Captain Callum McGregor, Greg Taylor, Auston Trusty, Paulo Bernardo, Arne Engels, Liam Scales, Adam Idah and Luke McCowan were among the others to be captured. 

Some appeared to be pleased with how the developers rated them, while others expressed their shock that their stats weren’t higher. 

McCowan, a Deadline Day signing from Dundee, on the other end expressed gratitude that he’d been upgraded from a bronze card this time around. 

(Image: Celtic TV) “I’ll take it though,” the midfielder said after seeing his 69-rated card.

McGregor done the opposite of Kyogo and even kept Taylor beside him to dissect how they’ve fared in this year’s edition. 

(Image: Celtic TV) “Greggie, get back in here,” he asks as he displays his card. 

“That’s a good card mate,” Taylor replies after seeing the 79 overall gold verdict. 

He got given 79 for pace, 74 for shooting, 77 for passing, 80 for dribbling, while his defensive stats merited 71 and physicality was deemed worthy of 78. 

Celtic daft rapper Bemz was the host and he even questioned why the skipper’s shot attributes didn’t match his real life exploits.

He commented: “That’s harsh. I think the shooting should be better.” 

Which McGregor chimed back in and said: “Well, they’ve not seen me this season, have they? I’ve scored three bangers already.”
