Reo Hatate is something of a 'street footballer' according to former Celtic captain Paul Lambert but will improve tenfold in Glasgow.
The Japanese midfielder has had a landmark year at Parkhead after arriving from the J-League in January last year alongside fellow countrymen Daizen Maeda and Yosuke Ideguchi. Hatate has made 27 appearances for Ange Postecoglou's men and has ten goal contributions despite only being in football for just over five years.
Lambert insists that he is a different kind of player to what Parkhead fans have seen with his 'streetwise' skills but need only look to established captain Callum McGregor for the blueprint of how to become a memorable figure in the east end of Glasgow.
