Like many other Celtic supporters, it’s annoying me that we didn’t give Kyogo the farewell he deserved…

Kyogo today finalised his move to Rennes, and despite the high of bringing Jota back home, it still hurts to wave goodbye to the little Japanese genius.
Footballers come and footballers go
Footballers come and footballers go, that’s the reality of this game, but some departures hurt more than others, and Kyogo’s departure is one of those that’s will have us chopping onions.
We all know the economics of the club when it comes to player trading model, and especially since Kyogo made it clear he wanted to try something new, we understood the decision to let him move on, but we all feel like we’ve been denied the opportunity of giving him a proper send off.

Similar to Scott Brown, who called time on a successful Celtic career albeit in different circumstances due to the effect of Covid, Kyogo was denied the chance of a proper farewell by the grateful Celtic support.
Kyogo deserved a proper Celtic send-off
A full Celtic Park on their feet giving him a rapturous applause, that’s what Kyogo deserved. He got one on Wednesday night as he was subbed off against BSC Young Boys, but that was just a recognition of his effort during the game, and if we knew then it was to be his last appearance it would’ve been a lot more rapturous and emotional that’s for sure.

Haste ye back Kyogo
Hopefully Kyogo will get the chance to return to Celtic Park in some capacity in the near future so that we can let him know how much his efforts were truly appreciated. The Champions League play-off match would be an ideal occasion as Rennes are not involved in European football.
Regardless like every other Celtic supporter I know, I wish Kyogo nothing but the very best.
Just an Ordinary Bhoy
Jota spoke to The Celtic Star and a few other Celtic fan media sites today at Celtic Park. Conor Spence from The Celtic Star asked the first three questions today…

Rodgers said he asked 2 months ago to leave. Leaving Celtic for rhe French Dundee Utd who are in a relegation scrap. As Peter Grant said “He did it for money.” He chose not to go to fans at Full Time v Young Boys & do his usual Celebration where he flaps his arms up & down. He knew he was away & chose not to celebrate with fans or tell the fans. It is the Year of the Snake mind you. $$$ What were Celtic supposed to do?
Mate clearly all he wanted to do was get a call-up and obv was not happening at Celtic, he wanted to try something new. As for not celebrating, I am sure the wee man is also torn up after being a servant of the club the past three years. Have some respect for ‘The Best Since Larsson’ hh
Rennes aren’t in any European competition & in a relegation scrap. How’s that gonnae help playing for Japan lol? He’s been average last 2 years (of a 4 year stay.)
Celtic who are in the knockout stages of Champions League. His CL goal record is poor. & Maeda gets picked for Japan. Hes left for relegation battle / no European football… for mon£y.
He was pushed out by Lawell as soon as the money offers hit the desk. 10mill for a 30 year old? Lawell couldn’t kick him out quick enough.
BR said he wanted to go 2 months ago! Anthony Joseph on Sky Sports said he wants to leave Celtic as hes not picked for Japan. Maeda & Reo get picked. Maybe he’s not consistent enough, unlike his first 2 years.
