Feyenoord resist urge to 'punch' Kyogo as Celtic hero reassured old school tactics are out the window

Feyenoord boss Arne Slot says his side won't be looking to take advantage of Kyogo's shoulder injury - even if one of his old school assistants might have back in his day.

Celtic travel to Rotterdam for their Champions League opener on Tuesday night and top scorer Kyogo has been declared fit by Brendan Rodgers.

And Slot admits that news comes as a disappointment as he knows full well what a threat the Japanese star carries. Speaking at his press conference he was asked if his side might look to "test" his shoulder injury which briefly recurred during their win over Dundee as he required treatment in the tunnel during the first half.

But Slot laughed that off, though he did admit his 60-year-old coach John de Wolf might have handled it differently back when he was playing.
