Reo Hatate's sizzling form at Celtic could be about to earn him a call-up for the Japan national team.
The midfielder, despite being in top form under Ange Postecoglou's high-flying side, has made just one appearance for his country and was disappointed to learn of his World Cup fate last year when only Parkhead mate Daizen Maeda was picked for the Qatar tournament. Top forward Kyogo Furuhashi was also left out much to the surprise of many around the national side.
Hatate, however, has shown his skills in particular this season in Glasgow, earning plaudits from pundits and fans alike. And boss Hajime Moriyasu reportedly is ready to give a Hoops player a shout. The likes of new arrivals Yuki Kobayashi and Tomoki Iwata are also available for selection and have made an appearance in front of the Parkhead crowd already.
