Four to stand trial accused of racism towards Kyogo

This is brilliant news.

Ever since Kyogo has come into Scotland it is widely accepted that the Japanese star has been a breath of fresh air to not only Celtic, but the Scottish game.

He has been hugely popular amongst the Celtic support, for obvious reasons, and for other rival teams supporters a pain in the backside for their defenses as he ran riot before his injury forced him out just before the winter break.

But not long into his time in Scotland, a film was released of *Rangers fans racially abusing the Japanese striker on a supporters bus in an act that shamed the club and Scottish society.

As the club banned the fans and released this statement at the time, “Those who partake in such behaviour are not representative of our club or the loyal support who have stood by us through thick and thin.

Celtic also responded at the time when they tweeted, “If reports are accurate then such sickening and pathetic racist behaviour directed towards Kyogo Furuhashi deserves absolute condemnation.”

Not only have the guys that completed this act received condemnation, they have also been told they will face trial as the Scottish courts now look at acting on and stamping out racism in society.

Hopefully this will act as a real deterrent for anyone else thinking they can chant and abuse at will.

We all stand with Kyogo.
