Kyogo, the former Vissel Kobe star, is set to make a special guest appearance when his old club takes on Kawasaki Frontale in a J-League clash on Sunday June 16. The 29-year-old Celtic player will not only grace the pitch at half-time, but will also provide expert co-commentary during the game.
The match will be broadcasted by DAZN, giving fans the opportunity to hear Kyogo’s insights on the action. Despite speculation about a possible return to Japan with Urawa Red Diamonds, supporters of the Hoops will be relieved to see their star player back in his homeland for a short visit.
Kyogo initially joined Celtic from Vissel Kobe for a fee of £4.5 million in 2021. He made an immediate impact, scoring 20 goals in his first season despite a significant injury. The following year, he raised the bar even higher with an impressive 34 goals across all competitions, earning him Player of the Year honors.
While his most recent season was not as prolific, Kyogo still finished as Celtic’s top scorer with 19 goals. With his talent and dedication, there is no doubt that he will continue to shine both in Scotland and in Japan.
