Kyogo drops Rennes future hint after post-Celtic nightmare
The former Celtic hero has been linked with an emotional return to Parkhead after his £10 million move to Ligue 1 turned into a nightmare.
Kyogo played just 120 minutes in total since his January move and only started one league game.
He faces an uncertain future under manager Habib Beye, who almost completely bombed him out at the end of the campaign.

The 30-year-old forward is back in his homeland and was the special guest of honour at half time at his former club Vissel Kobe's game.
He gave a speech to the fans and appeared to indicate he wanted to prove himself at Rennes.
He said: "I'm so happy to be able to stand in front of you all again.
"I'll work harder and harder next season so that I can give you good news in future.
"Thank you for all your support."
Kyogo also lost his place in the Japan squad ahead of next year's World Cup and has been linked with a move away from Rennes.

Gareth Bale part of group seeking Plymouth takeover
The Telegraph were first to report that the 35-year-old former Real Madrid and Wales forward was part of the group seeking to buy Argyle. The PA news agency understands the group featuring Bale has registered an interest in buying Argyle, but the process is at a very early stage. Should the deal go through, Bale would be the latest big sporting name to be associated with an EFL club. Bale's former Real team-mate Luka Modric became an investor and co-owner in Championship side Swansea in April, while ex-NFL quarterback Tom Brady has a minority stake in Birmingham. Plymouth declined to comment. Bale retired from football in January 2023 at the age of 33. He won five Champions League titles with Real and is the men's all-time record goalscorer for Wales with 41 in 111 caps. Bale featured for Wales at the 2022 World Cup – their first appearance at the global finals since 1958 – and at the Euros in 2016 and 2020.
