There is no Kyogo error for Celtic as talisman reminds the world who he is after transfer drama - 3 talking points

Kyogo struck twice as Celtic eventually secured an emphatic victory over Ross County.

The Japanese striker spent spells of the contest on the Dingwall on the right as Brendan Rodgers looked to find a way to cover a lack of wingers. But, when he had to be in his natural hunting ground between the sticks, Kyogo was there for two classy finishes to take his tally for the term to a dozen.

The hitman’s opener just before the interval was a delightful flick from an Alistair Johnston cross and his second a deft and outstanding header from Arne Engels’ centre 10 minutes from time. It was a fully deserved win against a County side who hung in there and icing was added in stoppage time as Rodgers’ team scored two more through Engels for the spot and sub Luke McCowan.

Don Cowie’s team had equalised from the penalty spot themselves on the hour through sub Jordan White as they scrapped to try and halt the visitors. But Kyogo’s magical eye for a goal pushed the Staggies back down as the champions surged 18 points clear in the table. It was a fully worthy triumph, but Rodgers’ team had to work before running away with it in the end.

Kyogo and Adam Idah started in attack and Celtic’s first clear look came when the Japanese’s blocked shot broke to the Irishman who shot into the sidenet.

Johnston’s back-flick from an Idah cross was saved by keeper Jordan Amissah and County got their opening opportunity when Noah Chilvers drove an excellent opening wide.

Referee Matthew MacDermid wasn’t interested in big Celtic penalty appeals when Reo Hatate went down in the box under a challenge from Eli Campbell as he burst towards the County goal.

Rodgers’ team kept pushing with Engels shooting high after Callum McGregor had an effort charged down.
