Brendan Rodgers has five challenging games left to handle for Celtic as the championship race nears its conclusion if he hopes to win the trophy once more.
Celtic faces Dundee, Hearts, Rangers, Kilmarnock, and St. Mirren; if we win all of these matches, the title is ours.
But Rodgers will have to make tough choices after these games. John Hartson believes the Celtic boss is going to make a big move for Sunday afternoon’s trip to Dens Park.
As per Hartson, Kyogo will be let go.
Speaking about the next match, the former Celtic great made a claim that he thought Aaron Rodgers would start Hoops attacker Adam Idah instead of Kyogo Furuhashi on the bench.
Hartson stated on The Go Radio Football Show, “I believe Idah could return.” Yes, I do. He takes center stage. In form, he is a player. Every time he plays, I believe he is amazed.
“He has scored some really important goals for Celtic. Additionally, he has been seeing Kyogo very frequently lately. I believe he has started the last three or four contests.
And I have the impression that Idah will contribute more from the beginning rather than simply coming off the bench.
“It’s really hard to pick up the pace, but he’s still managed to do pretty well and score goals even coming off the substitutes bench.”John Hartson believes that a “world class” Celtic Top player will soon be benched for the match against Dundee.
Thus, I believe that this coming weekend, you could see a shift in the center.
“Kyogo is excellent. Although he is a world-class player, this season he hasn’t been at his best. And since entering, Idah has had a significant influence.
It’s not that I don’t think highly of Idah; rather, I’m not convinced that this will occur. Yes, I do. Since joining Celtic, the Irishman has scored seven incredible goals that have kept us in the running for the championship.
But Kyogo is just a different class, and I believe that on Sunday, his agility and acuity will be vital. Idah will be a useful substitute off the bench, and his effectiveness may increase once the Japanese attacker has worn down the Dundee defense.
Ultimately, what matters most is that Celtic win at Dens Park and get the three vital points that will maintain us atop the standings.
