CELTIC striker Kyogo Furuhashi certainly hasn’t been short of goals this season, meaning he hasn’t been short of goal celebrations either.
The 27-year old Hoops talisman is enjoying a spell of incredible form with six goals across his last four Premiership matches.

The Japan international has opened the scoring for Celtic in all of those games, and capped off his excellent run of form with a stunning hat-trick on Sunday.
He bagged a first half treble in the 9-0 thrashing of Dundee United, a trio of goals that included an absolutely sublime strike from distance for his second.
Kyogo’s goals are always followed by his trademark ‘mushroom’ celebration.
In an interview last year, he revealed the celebration that sees him form a triangle shape with his hands above his head was inspired by his HAIRCUT.
He said: “It comes from mushrooms.
“My hair style resembles a round mushroom so I started doing that.
“It has become my thing somehow.”
While the ‘mushroom’ was on show after he scored against Hearts the Sunday before last, there was a second, new addition to his celebration.
The Hoops fans’ favourite came up with a new move that can only really be described as being somewhere in between a singer and someone playing an air guitar.
In the days that followed, Kyogo took to social media to ask Celtic fans to guess the inspiration behind the new celeb.
There were some rather wacky suggestions, a few of which Kyogo himself mentioned, when he finally delivered the answer to the question.
It’s unlikely that many Hoops fans will have been able to guess the inspiration for the latest moves.
Kyogo said: “Good guesses everyone!
“But it’s not Spiderman, Elvis or John Travolta!
“It is from the famous Japanese comedian @kkkatmari which I really like.”
Kyogo was referring to a famous Japanese comedy duo Kuuki Kaidan who are big in the striker’s homeland.
He’ll be hoping to get an opportunity to showcase his celebrations again this week.
The Hoops head to Ross County in the Premier Sports Cup tonight.
And then on Saturday, it’s the first derby clash of the season against Glasgow rivals Rangers at Celtic Park.
