Yosuke Ideguchi believes he cannot look back at his Celtic spell so far with much regret but that he can admit it hasn't been a success.
The Japanese midfielder arrived with fanfare in January last year alongside fellow J-League stars Daizen Maeda and Reo Hatate - both who turned out to be key players for Ange Postecoglou's side. The same cannot be said, however, for Ideguchi who struggled to break in to a competitive Celtic midfield owing to injury issues primarily before the emergence of the likes of Matt O'Riley and Aaron Mooy made a start even more unlikely.
The 26-year-old missed a large chunk of the season and made just one start in the Scottish Cup and admits, despite concerns, that is he fit and ready to go but that his time in Glasgow wasn't the hit he was looking for. Now on a year-long loan to Avispa Fukuoka in his homeland the midfielder is hoping to avenge recent times.
