The midfielder knows all about Ange Postecoglou from the manager’s time in Japan and he’s excited about working under the Australian, as well as getting the chance to play alongside the rest of Celtic’s Japanese contingent, Daizen Maede, Yosuke Ideguchi and Kyogo Furuhashi.

The new Celt said: “I am extremely honoured to finally be able to wear this historical uniform.

'I’ve only been able to see Celtic Park on videos and pictures, so I’m really excited to finally be able to experience this great stadium and I’m extremely looking forward to meeting the fans and playing in front of them.'

“As a Japanese, it’s really exciting to see a manager who has experience in Japan and in the international stage.

“In Japan, I have always played against his teams but I’ve always observed and thought his way of playing is very strategical and attacking, so it’s extremely fun for the audience.”

Having played in a number of positions for Kawasaki Frontale, Reo believes his versatility has helped his development, but he can’t wait to show the Celtic supporters exactly what he can offer.

“Being able to play in different positions has given me confidence as a footballer,” he said. “With this team, I want to be able to bring out the best in my style of play and contribute to the attacking side of things a bit more.

'I hope to be the best version of myself so I can contribute towards Celtic and I want the fans to see how I play and to know my style as soon as possible.'

"I will do my best in training and in the games and I’m really looking forward to it.”
