Gordon Strachan has paid tribute to former Celtic hero Shunsuke Nakamura at the Japan legend’s retirement press conference. Strachan signed the playmaker from Reggina during his first season in charge at Parkhead in a £2.5 million deal in 2005.
Nakamura became a huge fans favourite during his time in the east end of Glasgow with a memorable free kick winner against Manchester United in the Champions League a standout moment during four years in which he won six trophies.
The 44-year-old - capped 98 times for his country - only recently retired after hanging up his boots following a spell with Yokohama FC and Strachan lavished praise on his former midfielder on a video shown at his farewell press conference.
