Kyogo's development at Celtic has been applauded by Japan boss Hajime Moriyasu – but he hinted he'll continue to lean on domestic options rather than call up the Celtic star.
Kyogo has 28 goals for the season and will be hoping to smash the 30 barrier in the remainder of the campaign. They face Rangers in the Scottish Cup semi-finals on Sunday and have five league games to play, knowing just one win will secure the league title after their rivals lost to Aberdeen last weekend.
But despite Kyogo's formidable form firing the Hoops to within touching distance of a Treble, he's been left in the cold by his country.
Moriyasu omitted him for the World Cup and his squad for two friendlies in March and it was revealed this week he has no plans to visit Glasgow to watch Ange Postecoglou's team during his current tour of Europe...hinting the Parkhead star is not high on his list of priorities.
