Celtic star Kyogo spotted on tiny Scottish island with population of 170

Celtic star Kyogo Furuhashi was spotted holidaying on at an unlikely destination in Scotland this week.

While we might be used to Celtic and Rangers stars popping up in Ibiza, Mallorca, or other party islands - 29 year old Kyogo was spotted by fans in Fionnphort on the Isle of Mull on his way back from Iona.

They'll be temptation from Celtic to go with Adam Idah this week in order to manage the Japanese striker's minutes. We suspect Kyogo will start, though.placeholder image

Kyogo was out on the Isle of Iona - an island in the Inner Hebrides only 1.5 miles wide and 3 miles long with only around 170 permanent residents - after he found out he would not be playing for Japan, his national team, during the international break.

Kyogo did not join his teammates Daizen Maeda and Reo Hatete in playing for Japan in the World Cup qualifiers against Saudi Arabia and Australia - instead opting to ferry out to the Scottish isles.
