Kyogo Furuhashi ended any doubts of a Celtic win over Livingston with his late goal.
After a fast break from Celtic, a James Forrest header found Kyogo through on goal, one-on-one against Michael McGovern in the Livingston goal, calmly slotting home to secure a 4-2 win.
After an offside check, Kyogo’s goal was ruled onside, with the strike highlighting his pace in behind that gives Celtic a different threat against tired legs, especially with David Martindale’s side pushing up the pitch for an equaliser.

The Japanese international was a substitute, replacing Adam Idah in the 61st minute, and will see his goal as an opportunity to prove to Brendan Rodgers what he can do when on the pitch.
Kyogo’s consistent ability to score, especially with his runs in behind and penalty box finishing, makes him vital for Celtic in the coming weeks.
Despite doubts over his form in recent months, he has shown time and time again that he will still pop up with goals when it counts most.
