Celtic captain Callum McGregor wants Kyogo Furuhashi to stay on at Celtic as they drive towards the title — and believes the Japanese forward is still fully committed to the cause. Furuhashi remains the subject of interest from MLS side Atlanta United despite the Parkhead side turning down advances last summer and he appeared downbeat after both of his goals in the 4-1 weekend win at Ross County.

However, McGregor sees nothing in the former Vissel Kobe man to suggest he is unsettled by ongoing speculation over his future and was clear when asked if he wants to see his team-mate remain at the club. ‘Yeah, absolutely,’ he replied. ‘He’s a top player and has given us so many good memories in such big games. He’s been the difference, he’s been decisive for us.

‘So, I’m sure that the club will want to keep him as long as we can because he’s a huge player for us and, again, in sticky games like this (Ross County), he can make the difference and that’s what you need for your strikers. Celtic striker Kyogo Furuhashi remains the subject of interest from Atlanta United.
Furuhashi scores the first of his two goals in the 4-1 win against Ross County on Saturday. Callum McGregor says there is nothing to suggest that Furuhashi wants to leave Celtic. ‘He pretty much has everything. I’ve probably run out of superlatives for him, but he’s still such a huge and important part of what we’re doing and we’re really lucky to have him.
