CELTIC striker Kyogo has hit the news recently after being branded a cheat by former English Grade One referee Keith Hackett and a diver by ex-Rangers skipper Barry Ferguson.

The Japanese hitman has made a massive impact in the Scottish Premiership since joining Celtic for £4.6 million from Vissel Kobe in July.

The 26-year-old has netted 14 goals in 29 appearances for Ange Postecoglou's side and is already a strong contender for the Scottish Player of the year crown.

Meanwhile Japanese national team boss handed Kyogo and Ange a major boost by declaring that he will only select domestic J-League players for international duty giving the Celtic star a much-needed rest.

Elsewhere Calum Butcher unsurprisingly received a citation from Hampden after Sunday's dreadful challenge on Celtic midfielder David Turnbull.

The debate rages on as to whether the Aussie should field a weakened Celtic team during tomorrow night's final Europa League group match against La Liga side Real Betis at Celtic Park.
