I don’t know how I missed this one to be honest.

Regular readers will know that I like to bring you Celtic news from the podcast world so well done to Celts Are Here for picking this up.

Monday night saw Celtic’s return to Paradise and the fans looking forward to getting to see the new arrivals first hand as Reo Hatate and Daizen Maeda made their debuts.

And boy, did they not let us down.

A goal within the first four minutes of his debut for Maeda and watching Hatate ping passes with sniper like precision, the fans were left purring at the quality of player they had just witnessed.

But for many fans, this wasn’t a surprise.

As soon as a player is linked with Celtic, the YouTube clips and Google is busted out to find out as much information on them as possible.

But Michael Stewart was surprised when he found out just how much Reo Hatate cost the club on BBC Sportsound.

Reviewing the Japanese midfielders performance, Stewart said, “You look at that first-half performance from Hatate and the guy is a top-class player.

“There are no two ways about that. Celtic have signed an incredibly talented player.”

And when he was told the sum of money it took to get him Stewarts reaction was priceless, “You’re kidding me on?

“Sorry, £1.4m for Hatate? If you can get a player like that for £1.4m, that is incredible.”

And it is no wonder Celtic fans still want to see Ange dip into the transfer market to see what other gems he can unearth.
