See You Tomoki- Iwata’s unique celebration of first Scottish goal

On the bus ride back from Tynecastle Tomoki Iwata decided to dig into the Gallery on his phone to mark his first goal as a Celtic player.

The midfielder has yet to start a match but that is hardly surprising with the trio of Callum McGregor, Reo Hatate and Matt O’Riley growing stronger match by match.

Iwata moved to Celtic in January after completing the J-League season and finished the Scottish campaign playing in central defence as the Scottish Cup was clinched with a Hampden win over Inverness Caley Thistle.

The Jimmy Wig is popular with tourists to Scotland with Russ Abbott introducing it on his Madhouse TV show in the eighties.

Iwata was a 66^th minute substitute for Reo Hatate today and was quickly involved in the thick of the action as Hearts looked to build on Lawrence Shankland’s goal in the 64^th minute.

Celtic had to wait until the 81^st minute to restore their three goal lead but it was a memorable strike in keeping with the quality of the others in the match.

Oh Hyeon-gyu had a couple of swiped at converting a low cross from James Forrest, Iwata only needed one invite as he cracked in a ferocious angled shot from 10 yards out that hit the underside of the crossbar, struck the ground then flew up into the net.
