Kyogo makes Celtic 'ready' vow as Parkhead striker responds to Ange Postecoglou call to action

Returning Kyogo says he's "ready" to make an impact against St Johnstone as he targets a return from injury.

The Japan striker hasn't been seen since Boxing Day when a recurrence of a hamstring problem forced him off against Saints.

Ange Postecoglou said he was ready to return against Rangers last weekend but opted to leave him out of the squad for the victory at Ibrox.

However the Celtic boss went one step further in the build-up to Saturday's clash with Callum Davidson's team as he said the 16-goal hitman will "100 per cent" be involved.

And it seems Kyogo is raring to go as he shared a snap of himself in action and captioned it: "Ready."

Speaking ahead of Saturday's game, which could see Celtic take a big step towards the title, Postecoglou said it was simply a judgement call to leave him out of the trip to Ibrox.

But he's more confident now after a full week of training for the 27-year-old.

Postecoglou said: "He was fit last week in the end it was a judgement call on my behalf to maybe be a little bit conservative with him but he's trained all week. I was keen for him to have a full week of training.

"He's alright to go. He'll be involved tomorrow, 100 per cent he'll be part of the squad."
