Chris Sutton reacts on Twitter as Celtic win cup final

Chris Sutton has taken to Twitter to suggest that Ange Postecoglou has done an incredible job with Celtic after their Premier Sports Cup win, while he also compared Kyogo Furuhashi with Henrik Larsson.

The Hoops have their first trophy under their new boss. They had to come from behind to beat Hibernian at Hampden Park.

Celtic had conceded the opener six minutes into the second-half. However, within 60 seconds, they were level thanks to Kyogo. It was a brilliant piece of play from the forward.

And he went on to score the winner with just under 20 minutes remaining. A quickly taken free-kick from Tom Rogic was played to Kyogo. And the Japan international lifted the ball over Matt Macey in the Hibs goal to ensure that they would be the ones to secure the first silverware of the season.

It is a huge statement from Postecoglou. Celtic, of course, looked so far away from any success under Neil Lennon last season.

But, while new signings have come in, the Bhoys look to be a completely different side this term with many of the same players who struggled so much previously.

Understandably, Sutton wanted to pay tribute to Postecoglou and Kyogo on Twitter following the cup win…

It is remarkable just how quickly Celtic have turned their fortunes around. There has been a dramatic change in style from Lennon to Postecoglou. And yet, the players have thrived under the new boss.

They now have a trophy to show for their efforts. And it looks likely to be the first of many under Postecoglou.
