It is fair to say Kyogo Furuhashi's Rennes spell hasn't gone to plan so far.
The forward made a surprise mid-season Celtic exit to join the French side, whom he has yet to score for after two months.
Furuhashi has made five Rennes appearances to date and most recently came on as a stoppage-time substitute in their 3-0 win away to Angers on Sunday.

The striker was a modern-day great at Celtic and developed a continual knack for scoring goals of utmost importance in mammoth games.
He still has green and white DNA, and that was no more apparent than in a recent video that went out across Ligue 1's official social media pages.
Indeed, Furuhashi was asked to compare Japanese footballers and eventually came to the summation that ex-Celtic hero Shunsuke Nakamura ranked above the rest.
The striker adjudged the free-kick genius to be better than the likes of Shinji Kagawa, Keisuke Honda and more:

Furuhashi made 32 Celtic appearances in the opening half of the campaign and remained a regular fixture in the side until his exit.
The 30-year-old's move to Rennes and Celtic's subsequent failure to sign a number nine in January has seen Daizen Maeda's form take a considerable upturn.
The attacker hit 30 goals for the campaign at the weekend as the Parkhead side took another step towards their fourth consecutive league title.
