Kyogo Furuhashi will be with the Celtic squad that flies to Alkmaar this afternoon.

The striker was the subject of racist abuse on Sunday resulting in worldwide headlines and concerns over the impact on someone who has been in Scotland for less than four weeks.

Celtic condemned the attacks on Twitter on Sunday night followed by a very strong interview from Postecoglou on Monday for Celtic TV.

Furuhashi opened the scoring in last week’s first leg match at Celtic Park his sixth goal in five appearances since his transfer from Vissel Kobe.

Celtic fans have been taking Japanese flags to matches with social media swamped with messages of support for the 26-year-old.

On Sunday Celtic complete their hectic schedule with a trip to Ibrox in the Glasgow derby before an 11 day break for international football. Furuhashi will be on duty with Japan for World Cup qualifiers.
