Since Ange Postecoglou became Celtic manager, the club have built up a well founded relationship with the nation of Japan.

Numerous players have been brought to Glasgow from the land of the rising sun and have excelled.

Moreover, interest in Japan for Celtic has peaked in recent times thus it is no wonder that the Hoops were reportedly planning a mini tour of the nation prior to the 2023/24 season beginning.

And now, a cryptic update on said excursion has been provided courtesy of an expert journalist in Japan, Dan Orlowitz.

Orlowitz quoted his initial Tweet regarding the tour with the simple phrase ‘Here we go…’:

This somewhat enigmatic message points towards the mini tour being close to being confirmed and that it is well on its way to transpiring.

This is an exciting update for Celtic fans, particularly those in Japan who will want to see their heroes in the flesh and up close for the first time.

Although it has not been officially confirmed yet, this update suggests we are close to that stage.

Nevertheless, we will await future updates and we at CeltsAreHere will keep you posted with the latest.
