Celtic signed Kyogo Furuhashi from Vissel Kobe this summer. He scored a hat-trick in his home debut, the first Celtic player to do so since 1924. He's currently Celtic's top scorer, and got both of Celtic's goals in the League Cup final. Source. Highlight reel.
Morton visit Kilmarnock. Morton are tenth with 13 points, Kilmarnock fourth with 32. So far this season Killie have defeated Morton twice in the league and once in the League Cup.
If it comes off, this evening's match will be Dougie Imrie's first as manager. Killie are without a permanent manager of their own.
If Morton win and Dunfermline lose [or don't play], Morton will move into ninth place.
[Kilmarnock 1 - 1 Morton. Morton goal by Lithgow.]
