Kyogo boards private jet as Celtic transfer exit edges closer

Kyogo's Celtic transfer exit is edging closer after he was spotted boarding a private jet to depart Glasgow this afternoon.

The Japanese forward looks set to join French outfit Stade Rennes. 

The Scottish Premiership champions will say goodbye to the fans' favourite in a £10m deal.

The striker, who recently turned 30, is believed to be keen to challenge himself in one of Europe's top five leagues, and Ligue 1 looks likely to be his chosen destination.

Photos emerged this afternoon of Kyogo boarding a private plane at Glasgow Airport, which had been chartered to fly straight to Rennes in northern France.

The news of Kyogo's imminent departure came less than an hour after Celtic defeated Young Boys in the Champions League to secure a play-off spot.

Kyogo netted three times in what was his final Hoops appearance, although, all of the strikes were disallowed.

Brendan Rodgers will now turn his attention to a new transfer target before the end of the window.
