Celtic v Aberdeen – Kyogo a big game specialist, Hampden is his stage

Kyogo is a big game specialist, he loves playing in front of a big crowd

Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou has hailed Kyogo Furuhashi as a “big game specialist” ahead of the Scottish League Cup final against Aberdeen on Sunday.

The Japanese striker has scored 16 goals in 21 appearances for Celtic this season, including crucial strikes in the Champions League qualifiers and the Old Firm derby.

Postecoglou believes Kyogo's record in big games shows that he is a player who can handle the pressure.

Hampden is Kyogo's stage

Hampden Park is a special place for Kyogo.

He scored his first Celtic goal in the Scottish Cup semi-final against Rangers at Hampden last season.

And he was on target again in the League Cup semi-final against Kilmarnock at the same venue this season.

Kyogo will be looking to add to his Hampden goalscoring tally when Celtic face Aberdeen in the final on Sunday.

Celtic are favourites to win the Scottish League Cup

Celtic are the favourites to win the Scottish League Cup this season.

They have won the competition 20 times, more than any other club.

Aberdeen have won the League Cup twice, but their last triumph came in 1990.

Can Aberdeen cause an upset?

Aberdeen are the underdogs going into the Scottish League Cup final.

But they have a good record against Celtic in recent years.

Aberdeen have won three of the last five meetings between the two teams.

So Celtic will need to be wary of the threat that Aberdeen pose.

Who will win the Scottish League Cup?

Celtic are the favourites to win the Scottish League Cup, but Aberdeen have a good record against them in recent years.
