Reo Hatate was missing as the team arrived back at Parkhead to celebrate winning the title.

The midfielder helped Celtic through the title-winning match against Hearts on Sunday. He set up Kyogo’s opening goal, after Callum McGregor played a brilliant ball over the top of the defence, noticing Hatate’s run.

Hatate has never taken centre stage in celebrations, usually standing at the side watching his team celebrate.

But as the team were photographed on their return to Parkhead, Hatate didn’t seem to be with them, outside the ground as well as inside the stadium.

Celtic uploaded a photo with the fans in the background as they celebrated their title win outside the stadium.

The players then headed inside and took another photo as they were crowned champions.

Hopefully, he was just unable to attend for a simple reason rather than any kind of injury reoccurrence.
