Kyogo Furuhashi has sparked injury concerns for Celtic after being forced off early against St Mirren.
The Japanese forward, who has been in sizzling form this season, was withdrawn after just over ten minutes after being stuck between two Buddies players and fell to the ground. Kyogo has netted 19 league goals and a handful more in cup competitions but did suffer a similar injury earlier this season minutes in to the Old Firm derby that the Hoops won 4-0.
But the exciting attacker has sparked injury fears after being replaced by Liel Abada and seemed to be holding his left shoulder and arm area as he walked off. Ange Postecoglou's men have a busy schedule ahead including a cup final against Rangers in two weeks.

With the exit of Greek forward Giorgos Giakoumakis, the Scottish champions have just one other recognised centre-forward in new signing Hyeon-gyu Oh who has featured only fleetingly against Dundee United and St Johnstone.
Kyogo did return to the bench after half an hour and was picked up by the cameras looking well which could allay some fears. After the 5-1 victory, Postecoglou told BBC Scotland: "We'll see how it is, we'll get a scan for him tomorrow. He's a pretty quick healer."
