Celtic star Kyogo Furuhashi has praised the input of Barcelona legend to his career during a Q&A with supporters on social media.

The Japanese striker spent time and became pals with Iniesta during his time at Vissel Kobe.

When Kyogo made the switch to Celtic, Iniesta was excited to see the striker get his chance in Europe.

Asked what it was like to play alongside Andres, Kyogo replied:

“@andresiniesta8 is a footballer who everyone dreams of playing with. It made very happy to play alongside him.

“Not only me, but all players who play with him learn a lot. This is what helped me grow as a player.”

Celtic fans will be thankful Iniesta has helped Kyogo develop into the player he has become. In the first half of the season, the striker was pivotal to Celtic. After a long spell out with injury – he’s ready for the final five games of the season and could help Celtic to a famous title win.

The Bhoys are six points ahead in the league with five games to go. It’s not done and dusted yet, but we’re in a great position.

Iniesta knows all about Celtic and the atmosphere at Celtic Park having visited several times in Europe with Barcelona.
