Kyogo hailed Celtic's Invisible Man as 'amazing' scoring trick blows teammates away

Aaron Mooy is the kind of guy who likes to live quietly in the background but he admits it’s Celtic frontman Kyogo Furuhashi who is the real Invisible Man at Parkhead.

The Japan star was front and centre as he became the Viaplay Cup Final Hampden hero on Sunday with his deadly double to down Rangers. Mooy reckons it’s the striker's ability to vanish out of sight that gives defenders nightmares. It’s now you see him, now you don’t with Kyogo. And by the time he reappears it’s too late for rivals to do much apart from scoop the ball out the back of their net.

The 28-year-old fans favourite pounced with two trademark goals on Sunday and Mooy admitted Hoops teammates are amazed at the Houdini hitman’s box of tricks. The Aussie ace said: “If you put the ball in the box, you just know he’s always going to be ready to score. He’s quite amazing, really. You wonder where he is and then, all of a sudden, he’s there.

“His movement is amazing and defenders just don’t know which way he’s going to go. He must be a nightmare to play against. He’s one of the very best I’ve seen. And he’s quite a short guy, so to get on the end of so many crosses, it shows you what a player he is.”

Kyogo is the man who loves to lead the Celtic fans in celebration after games and he was at it again at Hampden as he kicked off the trophy party. Mooy has also emerged as a Hoops hero but the shy midfielder admitted his Parkhead pals take great delight in thrusting him into the limelight.

He said: “Yeah, the boys like to take the mickey! They know I’m a bit uncomfortable when the limelight is on me, so they get a bit of a buzz out of it.”

Mooy got a kick out of claiming his first cup as a Celt. The 32-year-old was a key cog in a dominant Hoops midfield on
