Celtic made it three wins in a row for the first time this campaign on Saturday against Rangers. Goals came from Paulo Bernardo and Kyogo Furuhashi in the second Glasgow derby of the season.
The Hoops ran out 2-1 victors, and the strike that turned out to be the decider was one of sheer brilliance.
At the edge of the opposition box, Kyogo received the ball and set himself up for a shot. With optimum quality, the Japanese hitman unleashed a wonderful strike into the top-right corner.
Greg Taylor’s reaction to the goal was priceless:

It is fair to say all supporters had a similar reaction to the left-back when the ball hit the back of the net. Kyogo is more than capable, however, and the manner in which he finished was top-class.
With his second derby goal of the season, the 28-year-old most certainly silenced a few of his doubters. It turned out to be crucial, and was eventually the deciding factor in the game.
