Celtic F.C 3-0 St. Mirren – Goal Highlights as Reo Hatate, Kyogo Furuhashi and Adam Idah secure victory for the hoops

Goal Video: Celtic F.C vs St. Mirren – Reo Hatate’s scores the opening goal good strike

Alistair Johnston sent a pass along the edge of the box that found Hatate. Hatate controlled the ball with one touch and then scored a stunning goal past Zach Hemming in the St. Mirren goal, giving Celtic a 1-0 lead 52 minutes into the game.

There were times during the season when Hatate was really missed. His goals and creativity added something new to the Celtic middle that wasn’t there when he wasn’t there.

Hatate’s goal could be very important at the end of the season, since Celtic had a hard time making good chances for a lot of the game.

But the amazing goal by the Japanese player made no question about it. It was a big day with the chance to go four points ahead at the top of the Scottish Premiership.

Goal Video: Celtic F.C vs St. Mirren – Kyogo Furuhashi scores the second goal at 60th minutes with a strong header crossed by Alistair Johnston

The Hoops are now 2-0 up against St. Mirren at Celtic Park, thanks to a goal from Kyogo Furuhashi. This is a big afternoon in the race for the title.

In the 60th minute, Alistair Johnston sent in a beautiful cross that found Kyogo in the box.

Because Johnston delivered the ball so well, the cross was pretty much ready for the Japanese scorer.

Johnston had already helped Reo Hatate score the first goal.

The Canadian right back is just as good in the attacking third. He has already set up two goals this afternoon.

The new thing Kyogo has added to his game this season is the ability to score headed goals, which he wasn’t able to do very often before.

Defenders on the other team are clearly having a hard time keeping up with his quick movement in the box. Johnston is especially good at spotting Kyogo’s smart runs into the box.
