Two-goal Furuhasi was 'Ky' for the Bhoys - Postecoglou

Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou felt two-goal Kyogo Furuhashi epitomised the hard work that brought his side more silverware as a 2-1 win over Rangers sealed the Viaplay Cup.

The Japanese striker supplied two close-range finishes as the Scottish champions retained the trophy at Hampden.

Furuhashi also hit a double in last season's final against Hibernian and Postecoglou stressed how well-deserved his glory is.

"It's invaluable to have a player who is willing to do everything in his power to help the team," he said.

"It's not just about his goals. Obviously the goals are the most important thing but he just works so hard. He is not floating about out there just waiting for a chance, he is running his socks off to do what other strikers won't do because he knows it's the right thing for the team.

"Players at this club are often measured by how they perform on the biggest of stages and he delivers again.

"You look at his size and the players he is up against and he doesn't shirk anything. He puts the opposition under pressure, he is so clever with his movement, and he wants to be front and centre when the opportunities are there.

"He was outstanding and he has been outstanding and he has been outstanding from the moment he joined this club."

Postecoglou has now won three of the four trophies handed out since he arrived in Scotland and his team are chasing a treble this season.

"The players and staff have worked awfully hard and part of the process is to get rewarded at some point so you can keep working hard," he said.

"The boys got their rewards which is well deserved and we know what it means for our supporters."

Furuhashi gave Celtic a deserved half-time lead and doubled their advantage 11 minutes into the second half but Rangers
