If Kyogo Furuhashi does not need to be at Celtic past this January switch window then he is bought a humorous method of exhibiting it.
Two objectives in Dingwall on Sunday, adopted by the compulsory dance in entrance of the travelling away assist after the sport rounded off one more spectacular day on the workplace for our talismanic striker.
The Japan striker turns 30 in underneath a weeks’ time, and whether or not he sees his future elsewhere or not, there might be no doubting his dedication to the membership at this second in time whereas he stays Brendan Rodgers’ primary striker.
It is a troublesome month for managers with the inevitable hypothesis of who stays and who goes, however with huge Champions League video games in opposition to Younger Boys and Aston Villa on the horizon, there might be little question that Rodgers’ will as soon as once more look to Kyogo to play a key position.
The recruitment group might properly have earmarked potential alternate options, and in soccer you simply by no means know, however as we close to the midway level of the window it might appear a excessive threat transfer to interchange a participant who’s quick approaching 100 objectives for the membership.
The hope, personally, is that Kyogo continues to have fun his birthday right here in his adopted metropolis of Glasgow for at the least one other yr or so.
Elsewhere, fringe gamers Stephen Welsh and Odin Thiago Holm have already secured mortgage strikes to Belgium and the USA respectively, and different exits – momentary or in any other case – are prone to comply with within the coming weeks.

Will Rodgers’ get the left winger that he appears to crave? Is a No.10 in his plans? And can we see one other contender to Greg Taylor’s throne arrive on the membership?
We’ll have these solutions in a brief couple of weeks, however within the meantime, the group proceed to navigate the relentless fixture schedule that January has thrown up.
Tonight’s conflict with Dundee will probably be our fifth sport of 9 this month alone, and as soon as once more some good squad administration will probably be required to maintain the gamers at optimum ranges for the challenges that lie forward.
Following the blip at Ibrox (we have all agreed it is a blip, have not we?) the aspect have responded in one of the best ways doable with three league wins on the bounce – scoring 9 objectives, and conceding only one.
It would be a daring transfer to wager in opposition to them making it 4 in a row at Dens Park, the place a win would lead to an unimaginable 18-point lead on the prime of the desk.
General, it is a month that’ll be judged simply as importantly for what occurs off the sector as on it, and on that be aware lets hope for excellent news on all fronts over these subsequent couple of weeks.
