Kyogo Furuhashi marked his return to the starting XI by heading Celtic into the lead in Dingwall. Jota floated an inch-perfect cross into the box after the Portuguese winger collected the ball on the right-hand side from Callum McGregor. The Japanese striker peeled off the defender, leaped and generated enough power to leave Ross Laidlaw helpless.

The duo, who were so potent in the first half of the season, linked up superbly and will fancy rediscovering their form as Celtic look to clinch the title.

Celtic have been in control and this goal will settle some nerves around the tough clash in The Highlands. However, Ange Postecoglou will urge his team to kill the game off after this early goal.
Kyogo’s teammates need to get on the same wavelength as him as his off the ball movement is top drawer, and most of the time the opportunity for an early pass is on due to how he times his runs.
