The Kyogo vs Idah Celtic debate comes down to this one thing and it could decide who starts in Dortmund – Chris Sutton

Kyogo Furuhashi or Adam Idah against Borussia Dortmund. In the eyes of many, it’s a clear-cut choice with the Japanese the obvious starting pick.

However, I’m not sure it’s that simple. And I’ll be fascinated to observe how Brendan Rodgers sees it. Kyogo is a class-act and I’m a huge fan. He delivers in big games. But the Celtic manager signed Idah to give him an alternative option in terms of style and I’m intrigued over how the frontmen will be utilised in the Signal Iduna Park.

He got the nod against Slovan Bratislava and delivered with a goal as the team romped to their impressive win. Not only did Kyogo score once, but he found space and opportunity to add more with his movement and his quick thinking.

But Kyogo got it right the third time and, with goals against Lazio and Atletico Madrid last season, he’s shown himself capable at the level. Interestingly, all of these goals have been on home soil. And I just wonder if Idah is coming under serious consideration to start away from home.
