Kyogo’s recount of his goal in Celtic’s 3-0 win over Rangers left Greg Taylor in stitches.
The Japanese striker’s goal was a key moment in a match that saw Celtic firmly establish their superiority in the Scottish Premiership early this season.
During the derby at Celtic Park, first-half goals from Daizen Maeda and Kyogo gave Celtic a solid lead, setting the tone for a match where Rangers struggled to make a significant impact. Callum McGregor’s impressive second-half strike further cemented the victory.
The atmosphere was evidently jubilant, with Brendan Rodgers sharing heartfelt celebrations with his team post-match. This victory not only extended Celtic’s perfect start to the league campaign but also shifted the historical balance in head-to-head derby wins in their favour.
Kyogo’s simplistic yet humorous explanation of his goal—””I didn’t see the goalkeeper. I could see I could shoot. Shoot. Goal. Yay!”—shared in an interview with Celtic TV, left his teammate Greg Taylor laughing.
Protect Kyogo at all costs 💚🍀 pic.twitter.com/ULudm1l98W

It was a great day from a Celtic perspective who head into the international break at the top of the table.
After the international break, Celtic host Hearts before opening their Champions League campaign at home to Bratislava. Then it’s back to Celtic Park the following weekend, with League Cup action back. The Hoops will host Falkirk in the quarter-finals of the Premier Sports Cup. Hopefully, Kyogo remains on form for the next run of fixtures.
On a day that produced so many wonderful sights to see for ourselves?
The return of kyogo dancing with the GB after the match, was right up there for myself anyway?
The reason why, because I was starting to question whether kyogo was losing that infectious spark he has for ourselves within our club?
Seemed to be missing for himself for large chunks of last season imo?
To see him back, to the kyogo we have come to love as a player for ourselves again, is always a very welcome sight for us all to continue to enjoy?
Getting kyogo involved into the match moreso this season, is having a brilliant all round effect and improvement for kyogo, along with our attacking play this season so far?
Long may it continue also.
