After three visits to Celtic Park in 2022 there is little doubt that Borna Barisic is mentally scarred by the sight of green and white hoops.
That fear can see him crouch down as the ball flies across the goalmouth or just stand frozen as play rages around him.
A new year started on Sunday, Celtic visited Ibrox on Monday with Barisic opting for a new policy to deal with his recurring nightmare.
With his team-mates holding a decent line around the 18-yard-line the Croatian opted for safety two yards back Aaron Ramsey ran onto a pass from Jota, the ball was worked back to Kyogo Furuhashi who smashed his shot past Barisic’s face into the net.

For the first Celtic goal Daizen Maeda skinned Connor Goldson and James Tavernier suggesting that Micky Beale still has work to do recreating his magic on the training ground.
At Easter weekend Barisic will be back at Celtic Park.
KYOGO! ?
