Kyogo Furuhashi has opened up on his goal tally aim for the season after slamming home a hat-trick against Dundee United.
Ange Postecoglou's champions completely blew away Jack Ross' men as they romped to a stunning NINE goal victory. It's been a rough period for the Tannadice outfit and that was further compounded by the mauling from the Hoops on Sunday.
Liel Abada also netted a treble while Jota, Carl Starfelt and Josip Juranovic got in on the act as Celtic made it five wins from five and put on a stunning show for the travelling support. Kyogo's three goals took his tally to six goals in just five games so far, and he has his eyes set on 30+ goals for the season ahead - but his first landmark is hitting 20.

He said: “I am happy with the hat-trick. And I am happy with the team and the victory as we scored a lot of goals.
"Have I ever been involved in a score like that? No, never.
“It is the result of our football and what we have been working on. We are happy with the result, but we still have a lot of things to do.
“We certainly had more opportunities to score. But we need to improve our finishing quality — although we have the confidence from scoring nine goals in this game.”
Celtic are back in action this midweek as they face Ross County in the Premier Sports Cup last 16 before a huge Old Firm showdown with Rangers at Parkhead this coming weekend. They then open their Champions League campaign against holders and world football giants Real Madrid.
On his personal aims for the season ahead, he added: “The first aim would be 20 goals — and then I would like to reach 30 and more. Today was amazing.
"We could just express what we’ve been working on, so we want to keep working more and keep having good results. Recently I’ve just had one goal per game but I got three goals in this match."
