So we've been supporting him and we'll be going along with that. Again though, like a lot of things, we'll obviously see as things progress through January where everyone is and make sure everyone is on the same page. But, certainly at this moment in time, Kyogo is an important player in the squad and will continue to be so.

Eventually falling to a worrying 4-2 loss at home against Nijmegen, it appears that Robin van Persie has some serious pressure mounting on his shoulders at De Kuip. Heading into November's fortnight interval with a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Go Ahead Eagles, the former Arsenal skipper has seen his downbeat squad lose all of their previous three appearances across all competitions by an aggregate score of 8-3.

It's a strange link, I think, he only arrived at Celtic on deadline there when he joined from Hammarby. It would be a massive surprise if Celtic were even considering letting him go so early into his Celtic career as well. I don't think Celtic will be open to letting the Tunisian international leave, and I don't think they'd be doing themselves any favours with the fans.

Image source, SNS An Old Firm semi-final is rarely a tepid affair and the Scottish League Cup final-four meeting between Celtic and Rangers did not disappoint. Celtic won 3-1 against 10-man Rangers after extra time to advance to the final against St Mirren - but there were wider narratives at play at Hampden for both clubs. Martin O'Neill is back as a caretaker manager at Celtic, and the win naturally increased thoughts - not least by the man himself - of the icon staying longer.
