Ange Postecoglou has spoken out about Kyogo Furuhashi’s growing army of media critics.
Scoring the only goal of the game against Hearts last Thursday seems to have struck a raw nerve with an incredible controversy breaking out over a marginal decision that has still not been proven either way.
Alongside that pundits have been claiming that he hits the ground too easily despite some rough-house treatment off the ball from defenders.

? Ange Postecoglou on Kyogo diving accusations:
“Who are these brave people, these warriors, accusing people?
“Kyogo’s the size of a jockey and he’s playing against guys almost a foot taller than him.
“He has been great for our football club and for Scottish football”. pic.twitter.com/DggA2n5BpU

Comments from former EPL referee Keith Hackett were picked up with top=spin added yesterday with The National deleting their story while stable-mate The Herald watered down the headline to tie in closer with the quotes.
On Go Radio Mark Guidi linked the Celtic striker with an increase in cheating but it seems that the growing criticism has finally forced Celtic into action with Postecoglou fronting up while the CEO and directors remain silent.
