‘Statement of intent’ ‘Well seen big Peter has retired’ ‘transfer window starts in December’ Joy for Celtic fans as triple signing deal is announced

Huddle

The Hogmanay celebrations arrived 13 hours early for Celtic fans as the club announced the signings of Reo Hatate, Daizen Maeda and Yosuke Ideguchi across social media. 

Speculation has been building over the last 48 hours that the deals were underway but no one was expecting all three players to be delivered before the transfer window opens. 

Deals have been agreed, medicals passed for three players that have clearly got the stamp of Ange all over them- just like top scorer Kyogo Furuhashi. 

Over a decade and more Celtic have been notoriously slow in transfer dealings with a busy final day the usual script, in August the club brought in Jota, Giorgos Giakoumakis and Cameron Carter-Vickers in a frantic 24 hour spell. 

Postecoglou has been very confident about getting key business done early, he had identified the positions that needed strengthened and the players that could provide the right solutions. 

Hibs at home on January 17 will be the first test for the new signings, until then the Celtic support can mull over the 12 months about to end and anticipate more Kyogoals and Angeball during 2022.
