    Buzzing to see this guy strut his stuff, devastating pace and can finish.

    Coming in to the prime of his career and brimming with confidence after last season.

    Looking forward to seeing him in action. Hopefully he can adapt his game to be effective against the 11 men behind the ball we regularly come up against.

    He really does. Brings a nice glow to that beautiful bald head of his.

    Daizen Maeda is looking forward to starting life at Celtic, and he has the advantage of having worked under Ange Postecoglou before at Yokohama F. Marinos.

    The 24-year-old forward, who was joint top scorer in the J League last season, is one of three Japanese players to have signed for Celtic today, with Reo Hatate and Yosuke Ideguchi also joining the Hoops.

    And they will join up with fellow countryman, Kyogo Furuhashi, who has enjoyed a superb start to his Celtic career since joining in the summer, scoring 16 goals so far and helping the Hoops win the League Cup.

    Speaking to Celtic TV from the club’s training ground at Lennoxtown, Daizen Maeda said: “I know the manager from before so I’m really looking forward to it. He’s always playing attacking football so I’m looking forward to playing that style of football again with him.

    “My strength is my speed so I would like to use my speed to attack opponents, and try to get as many goals as possible.

    'All the Japanese players will try to play together and to be successful with Celtic, so we will work hard to try and get the title this season.'

    The Japanese interest in Celtic pre-dates Kyogo’s arrival in the summer, with Shunsuke Nakamura having performed so impressively for the Hoops, making 166 appearances and scoring 33 goals during the four years he was at the club between 2005 and ’09.

    And Celtic’s triple signing has generated lots of excitement amongst fans in Japan.

    “Because of how well Kyogo Furuhashi is doing, and also in the past when Shunsuke Nakamura played for Celtic, there is a lot of interest in Japan,” said Daizen, “and I hope there will be more Celtic supporters in Japan now.

    'Kyogo has been playing really well and I think I’ll have to do even better to be successful, so I will try my best.'

    “When I met him with the international team, I asked him about Celtic and he was telling me lots of good things about it, so I’m really looking forward to it.”

    Daizen will join Celtic initially on loan but with a compulsory purchase clause included, meaning he will be with Celtic on a permanent basis from the summer on a long-term deal.

    What he says in Japanese and what the translator says is two different things. My wife is fluent in Japanese.

    He apparently was saying how before flying to Scotland he meditated with the souls of his ancestors on Mt Fuji on the best methods to skelp huns.
