Chris Sutton saluted Celtic’s J-League imports after the hoops picked up the first trophy of the season.
Six months ago Ange Postecoglou and Kyogo Furuhashi were strangers to the Celtic support but the week before Christmas they are the toast of the support.
Without as much as adding a coach to the staff the Australian has put his stamp on a club that was in need of a massive overhaul.
From Japan he brought one player, initially believed to be a winger but with goals 15 and 16 of the season Kyogo has showed the predatory instinct that all of the great strikers have.
Ange Postecoglou has done an incredible job in a few months . Fair play to him and this gutsy Celtic team. Hibs gave it a real go second half. Kyogo incredible finishes Larsson like.???

It took the Celtic striker 14 seconds to find the back of the net from the restart after Paul Hanlon had given Hibs the lead.
In the 72nd minute Kyogo clinched the trophy with a deft lob over Hibs keeper Matt Macey with the fans behind the goal delighted to see their hero back in action and doing what he does best.
Congratulations to Ange on his first trophy at Celtic. Hopefully many more to come.
The boys are back in town well done celtic lovely.
Somebody please tell me Kyogo’s contract has no less than a £150m buyout clause!?!?!?!?
Chuffed to bits for Ange and all the lads, just fantastic. Sevco will be keechin’ it and I sense they may misplace their liquid container..
