Kyogo Furuhashi has posted his first message since being racially abused.
The Japanese star was subject to vile chants and taunts on a video that surfaced online on Sunday afternoon. The clip showed what looked to be a group of Rangers fans on their way to the Ross County game revelling in racial slurs.
Celtic have called it out and the Ibrox club have opened an investigation.
The Hoops have also given Kyogo support in the aftermath of the video. The Celtic striker came out today with a short message that he will never walk alone.

Kyogo would have seen the outpouring of support from the Celtic fans and other fans around the country.
He has only been here a month and because he’s been successful so far — rival fans feel he’s fair game for moronic and vile abuse. It’s not on and these fans must be dealt with severely.
It’s incredible the amount of hatred you must have to attack a lad who has just come to this country to do the job he loves.
It show everyone how vile and sick these people are
If that all they can say ,
It means only they have no brain or self esteem ,and can only be pitied by the majority
That disgusting club in Govan,and it’s vile supporters,are capable of anything (except paying debts,taxes,and being generally fair and reasonable people) in order to win,and if not win then survive,and if not survive,then destroy all around them. How any decent human being could even pull on that jersey and represent them,is a mystery to me. They are a total anachronism and an affront to forward thinking.
They are a rancid,decomposing corpse in the cupboard of Scottish football and society in general..a putrid,puss-filled,steaming pile of raging maggots. I am not a fan of that club.
