Celtic is gearing up for a pair of pre-season friendlies in Japan, with the 23/24 SPFL season set to commence in less than three weeks. Under the guidance of Brendan Rodgers, the team is slated to face Yokohama and Osaka, aiming to refine their new squad.
In anticipation of these matches, a video of Adidas Japan stocking up on Celtic jerseys has surfaced. This allows locals to purchase the latest merchandise and items from previous seasons, marking a warm welcome for the team.

Celtic’s global reputation is well-established, with fans and discussions about the team’s rich history found in every corner of the world. However, Celtic’s popularity in Japan experienced a dip following Nakamura’s exit from the club back in the 2010s.
It appears to be making a strong comeback, with the Japanese players playing a significant role in Celtic’s recent triumphs.
The recent long-term contract signings by Kyogo and Maeda further underscore this resurgence, suggesting that Celtic’s influence and fanbase in Japan are poised for continued growth.
