No one was more entitled than Kyogo Furuhashi to lead Celtic’s post match celebrations after beating Dundee United 4-2.
The striker came off the bench in the 62nd minute with the hoops leading 2-1 but in the 87th minute Dundee United moved very close to taking a point when they equalised through Dylan Levitt.
Kyogo however wasn’t going to be denied a win and seven point lead in the Premiership.
When Matt O’Riley delivered a stoppage time corner he timed his run perfectly to meet Tony Ralston’s flick on and direct his header low into the net.

After celebrating his goal at one end of the stadium Kyogo kept a special dance for the Green Brigade before the fans headed off into the night reassured again that this team Never Stops.
The midweek disappointment of missing out on a place in Japan’s World Cup squad seems to have been short lived judging by yesterday’s goal and celebrations.
