Can Hearts put an end to Kyogo's remarkable record?

Frankie Kent has been well warned about the danger posed by Kyogo Furuhashi. Now he's tasked with doing something about it.

Kyogo boasts an incredible record against Hearts. Since making his Celtic debut off the bench in a 2-1 defeat in Gorgie in July 2021, the 28-year-old has faced the Tynecastle men seven times and scored in them all, with his side winning the lot.

Summer signing Kent, 27, comes up against the Japan striker for the first time when Hearts host the champions on Sunday.

“I’ve played against very good strikers constantly, whatever level you’re at each one offers something else, something different, they all have their strengths and weaknesses,” said the centre-back.

“It’s difficult for me because I haven’t seen loads of him Kyogo, I’ve only seen the highlights, but I know he’s a good player and all of the boys have said how sharp he is.

“You just have to do the best you can, be on your A game and stay concentrated, that’s what I’ll be trying to do.

“It isn’t all about one striker or me, or someone else, or individuals, it’s going to be about the team performance and hopefully we can get that on Sunday.”
