Tomoki Iwata has revealed he has known all about Celtic for a 'long-time' due to fans' favourite Shunsuke Nakamura.
Ange Postecoglou has secured a loan deal with an obligation to buy for the former Yokohama F Marinos midfielder. It is a similar arrangement that brought Daizen Maeda to Scotland last January with the Japan international becoming the third winter addition for the Scottish champions on top of Alistair Johnston and Yuki Kobayashi.
Iwata got his first experience of the Parkhead atmosphere when paraded in the win over Kilmarnock. It was something the 25-year-old will never forget as he admitted to getting goosebumps. Getting out on the turf as soon as possible is his main aim after opening up on a connection with the club that goes right back to his childhood.
