Celtic

The Swiss frontman struggled for form during his two year spell in the Scottish Premiership.

And while he didn't fit into the Angeball philosophy last season, the frontman appears to have adopted some of the tactics into his game this term. The club have tapped into the South Korea scouting network but appear to have missed out on Cho Gue-sung, while Suwon striker Oh Hyeon-gyu is reportedly the subject of an "improved" bid from Celtic. Impressed sporting director Andreas Schicker said: "He needed a bit more time to get started and is a different type of character than Rasmus (Højlund, who joined Serie A side Atalanta in the summer). With the Bundesliga set to restart next week following their winter break, the club sit six points behind top of the table RB Leipzig.

After failing to make his mark, the 25-year-old was shipped out on loan to the Austrian Bundesliga.

The Saints remain the only domestic side to inflict defeat on the champions this season.

They are a very good side, they play with energy and pace, that’s the biggest thing. He said: “The biggest key is you have to keep the ball. It is a big pitch and the energy of the crowd drives you on as well.

Celtic v Dundee United - cinch Premiership - Celtic Park Celtic s Liel Abada celebrates scoring their side s fourth goal of the game during the cinch ...

With the ball coming in from a Jota corner, Carl Starfelt attacked the cross and forced a save from Trevor Carson. Celtic opened the scoring through Liel Abada in this evening’s match against St Mirren. The Irishman’s save only went as far as Kobayashi, who then clattered his effort against the post with the rebound sitting up favourably to Abada.

Kevin Muscat has revealed that Ange Postecoglou sent a classy, good luck message to his old side during their push for the J-League title.

“He was like: ‘Mate, you’re on the way to having a really special feeling’. Because understanding not the difficulties but the challenges, I suppose, to be able to achieve (the J1 title) and also emulate what Ange had done prior to me. And that is evident by some of his transfer business in the January window after bringing Yuki Kobayashi (Vissel Kobe) and Tomoki Iwata (Yokohama F Marinos) to the club. I am sure the Celtic boss will be delighted by that and to see one of his former coaches go on to succeed in the dugout at his old club. He continued: “Getting to the back end of the year, he (Ange) sent us a message. It also appears that Ange has been keeping a close eye on proceedings in the J-League over the last few months after Kevin Muscat revealed that he had sent him and the squad a classy, good luck message on their way to the title.

Celtic have increased their efforts to land a striker in January with an improved bid for one target, according to reports.

“For me, it would have been a lot trickier if guys had already left and we were having to bring guys in at the last minute, so for me it is just about concentrating now on the task at hand and dealing with what is before me," he said. The Premiership league leaders are understood to have increased on a previous offer.

Kyogo Furuhashi hit a double as Celtic consolidated top spot in the cinch Premiership with a 4-0 victory over St Mirren.

Any hope of bail pretty much ended when he allowed Kyogo to drift in behind and lob the ball perfectly over Carson for a fine goal. After a VAR review the decision was proven to be incorrect. It’s to the credit of this team that they usually find a way. Despite their lead Celtic had a shaky start to the game. With clear daylight on Rangers and a superior goal difference it’s hard to see where Celtic slip up now. The ball bounced up for debutant Yuki Kobayashi to strike against the upright. Despite a testing night against the aerial prowess of Main, the new bhoy did fine. Jonah Ayunga forced Joe Hart to push a thumping, inswinging long range shot round the post. Narrowly denied the opening goal for Curtis Main by an offside flag and VAR review, there was no real prospect of a repeat here. In another indication of the in depth strength available to Postecoglou Japanese central defender Yuki Kobayashi made his debut in central defence beside Carl Starfelt.

Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou spoke to BBC Scotland's Sportsound following his team's comfortable win over St Mirren in the Scottish Premiership.

We're missing Cam [Cameron Carter-Vickers] and Giakoumakis so it just shows the strength in the squad but also the quality. "It's been going well for Kyogo [Furuhashi] pretty much since the moment he arrived. He said: "I thought it was a really strong all-round performance.

Celtic will have to fill that void before the end of the window, or keep their fingers crossed that their star striker remains fit and well. His second again came from a brilliantly timed run in behind, the striker jinking in front of Joe Shaughnessy to sidefoot home a delicious first-time cross from Jota at the near post. No pitch is going to be perfect at this time of year of course, particularly with the volume of rain that has fallen over the past week or so, but while it was nowhere near as bad as the swampy surface of the national stadium the Celtic Park pitch was threadbare in places and hardly suited to the home side’s preferred passing style. The first impressions were favourable. He might even have had a goal to show for his admirable efforts as he crashed the shot off the post that rebounded to Abada to hammer home the opener, but all in all, he can be very pleased with his first outing in the hoops. The physicality of the St Mirren front pairing of Curtis Main and Jonah Ayunga was too much for the Celtic backline to handle when the Saints beat Celtic in Paisley back in September, but Kobayashi showed he could mix it here when required too, handling that side of the game well.

As a collective, we didn't have enough players at the top of their game. We didn't have that against a very good Celtic side and we got punished. We had a a grip of the game for the most part and scored some really nice goals. We started the game well, at a good tempo. Kyogo made sure any hopes of a St Mirren comeback were dashed within eight minutes of the second half. Carl Starfelt saw his shot at a corner kept out by Trevor Carson with the rebound falling to Yuki Kobayashi, whose follow-up hit the left post before Abada volleyed the third attempt into the top corner.
