In a significant boost for Celtic, CeltsAreHere understands Japanese midfielder Reo Hatate has made a promising comeback, participating in a 45-minute bounce game as part of his recovery from a double calf injury sustained during the Asian Cup with Japan.
Hatate’s return is timely, Celtic have faced challenges maintaining their Premiership lead during his absence. However, with a recent victory over St Johnstone and The Rangers’ match against Dundee postponed, the bhoys have reclaimed the top spot.
The bounce match against St Mirren, ending in a 2-2 draw, was a critical test of Hatate’s readiness to rejoin Celtic’s first team for the final stretch of the season.
His performance suggests he could be br back in the fold for the upcoming match against Livingston after the international break.
Hatate’s return could not be more crucial, as the Premiership title race goes to the wire. His energy, creativity, and versatility have been missed, and his comeback could provide the necessary boost for Celtic to secure the championship.
We await to hear the outcome of Reo’s 45 minutes and if he has come through it ok.
