FOOTBALL Kenyan defender dealt Premier League promotion blow as Bristol City lose to Milwall
The Harambee Stars prospect, who is the reigning Bristol City player of the season, could not do much to help save his side from defeat
Daizen Maeda scored Celtic's first goal of the year for the third successive January when he dashed away from Scott Tanser to fire beyond Zach Hemming after just 54 seconds.
After neatly setting up the first, Matt O'Riley smartly tucked away the second. His wonderful first touch created the angle for Hemming to be nutmegged to round off a magnificent move in the sixth minute.

Kenya could play a friendly match against a top European nation in 2024, having already played Iran, Qatar and Russia in 2023.
The half could not have started any worse for Stephen Robinson's side and it ended in similar disappointment as Toyosi Olusanya was shown a red card after a VAR review after his boot caught Joe Hart's face.

FOOTBALL Arsenal's Takehiro Tomiyasu included in Japan’s squad for Asian Cup

If it wasn't for the St Mirren goalkeeper, the scoreline could have been much heavier. Substitutes Oh Hyeon-gyu, Yang Hyun-jun and Liel Abada were all denied, while Kyogo also headed wide when a goal appeared likely.
Following Rangers' early win against Kilmarnock, Celtic reclaimed their eight-point advantage, albeit having played two games more, while St Mirren remain in fifth, two points behind Kilmarnock.
