Celtic icon Shunsuke Nakamura insists his four compatriots at the club today can create more Parkhead history.
Nakamura, whose four years in green and white were punctuated by epic screamers and jaw-dropping free-kicks, reckons the club is a bigger deal in Japan now than in his heyday.
That's after Australian manager Ange Postecoglou signed up four J-League talents after being brought over himself from Yokohama F. Marinos.
Kyogo Furuhashi lit up the league from his arrival in late July before January saw the signings of Daizen Maeda, Reo Hatate and Yosuke Ideguchi.
And Nakamura told the Celtic View : "Their success is a genuine pleasure for me and I’m very glad to see Ange Postecoglou take charge and take four Japanese players over who are all playing well.
“I think Celtic have four really good players.
"Yosuke has more than 10 caps for Japan and is a great talent.
"Reo is only getting better by the day and won two league titles in Japan.
"Daizen is very quick and has all the ability required for modern football and matches the style of the manager.
"I hope more Japanese players will join Celtic in the future and help the club. I am one of the Celtic supporters in the Far East now and I hope they will all carve their name in the history of the club.
"I wish them the best of luck."
