Reo Hatate revealed he has been learning the lingo on the way to Celtic training to help him do his talking on the park. And the midfield dynamo revealed how boss Ange Postecoglou has told him what he must do improve after his World Cup snub.
The former Kawakasi Frontale man has been a revelation since moving to Glasgow a year ago, announcing his arrival in stunning fashion with screamers again Hearts and Rangers. But the 25-year-old was left gutted when his Parkhead heroics didn’t prove enough to land him a place at Qatar 2022.
That led to Hatate contemplating how he could get better - and Postecoglou gave him advice only for the Aussie to then credit the midfielder rather than accepting the praise himself. Hatate is learning all the time both on and off the park which starts with his journey to Lennoxtown.
