Celtic took over the lead in the Scottish Premiership one more time, at least for the time being, just before the international break, but with a game in hand over Rangers.

Celtic has been leading the league for most of the season, however, with some average results in the second part of the campaign, they have put themselves in a dangerous position of missing out on the defense of their title.

Player to Watch: Kyogo Furuhashi

With the success that Kyogo Furuhashi had in two and a half years playing for Celtic, it is not a surprise to see the Scottish giants bringing in more players from Japan. Furuhashi's influence has been immense and he didn't disappoint this season as well scoring ten goals in 30 league appearances.

Furuhashi spent most of his earlier career days in his country's lower leagues before catching a break with Vissel Kobe. He has scored a total of 135 goals through 305 career matches. The 29-year-old has also been on target five times in 21 appearances for Japan national team.
