There were a few unfamiliar faces underneath the hats and beards as Celtic released a Christmas Day video message to supporters.

Callum McGregor and Brendan Rodgers gave the straight faced festive message to supporters in-between the out-takes with players that struggle to remember their lines.

In there delivering their messages was Rocco Vata, Kwon Hyeok-hyu and Yuki Kobayashi who haven’t managed a single minute of playing time this season.

Vata is in his third season playing in the Lowland League with no likelihood of the Irish u-21 internationalist extending his Celtic stay.

Kwon has made the Celtic bench for the last two matches but is still waiting on his debut following his summer transfer from South Korean Second Division side Buson I Park.

A year ago Kobayashi was joining Celtic from Vissel Kobe, slipping down the ranking he appears to be sixth choice central defender with a return to the J-League expected next month.

Ben Siegrist, Marco Tilio and Nat Phillips also turn up on the video message.

      Merry Xmas Jack.
      When you open your presents I hope one of your family
      or friends has bought you a box of ‘comma’s’ or ‘full stops’.
      Maybe next year we can make sense of what you’re posting.

      Best wishes for the New Year.
