Reo Hatate

Will depend entirely on "which" Hatate returns from injury.
Head up his *, all over the shop, eyeing a move to Brighton Hatate...
Or midfield maestro Hun skelper Hatate.

 

Getting and keeping them fit is key. As we've seen wi CCV, he'd play 2 then be out for 2 also.

Form another question but psychologically to have them all available is a massive boost. Der hun won't like it for sure.

 

Exactly what I was going to say, unfortunately there is more than 1 Hatate

 

Very true especially since he has pretty much missed the whole season more or less so I would think any potential suitors would want to see that he is truly recovered and back in form.

 

Had 2 smashing performances for Japan before his injury so hopefully he picks up where he left off

 

Hopefully he can get 30 minutes or so off the bench against Livingston that would be a big help.

 

Bounce game 2mo v St Mirren hopefully he comes through it ok

 

He got 45 minutes in today's bounce game apparantly.

 

Well Brendan did say he would be playing in a bounce game


Tam as always spot on

 

He's gonna be like a new signing man. * buzzin

 

If that’s true you would imagine there might be another bounce game arranged as we are only at the start of the international break.

Between main team and b team it’s not like we would struggle to put out a decent squad for them.

Either Bain or Siegrist in goal, youngster right back, Welsh, Kobayash, Lagerbielke or possible Nawrocki if he’s fit enough or b team centre backs, left back would be an issue unless Frames fit as I am sure McKenzie is away on international duty I think.

Midfield, Holm, McCarthy, Hatate, youth players.

Forwards Yang, Kuhn (just get match sharpness up, Forrest, Oh and there’s a few from B team that could play.

Please can Hatate come back with that something to prove like when he just came in.

 

CELTIC have been handed an injury boost after key midfielder Reo Hatate played for 45 minutes in a Lennoxtown bounce game.


The Japanese international has been out of action since he was crocked playing at the Asian Cup in January.


Returning to training last week, the fans’ favourite came through a specially arranged behind-closed-doors game against St Mirren at the club training centre.


And Celtic will now work on building up his fitness with a view to a first-team return after the international break.


Revealing plans for a game to get Hatate back on the pitch last week, manager Brendan Rodgers said: ‘That’s the plan. We want to get minutes into Reo and push him on. He will be huge for us.


‘We’ll get some of the players working here, have a game and get some of them up to speed.’

Rodgers is also carefully managing the fitness of injury-plagued central defender Cameron Carter-Vickers and remains hopeful of a return for influential skipper Callum McGregor ahead of an away trip to Livingston and a huge Old Firm clash with Rangers at Ibrox

 

Buzzing pivotal for the run In

 

Very excited to have hatate back. In terms of turning a defensive scenario into an attacking scenario, not sure we have anyone better.

If we win this title then we need hatate back and we need him at his best imo.

Hatate and McGregor changes the way our entire team operates.

Feels like a lifetime ago that we had McGregor, hatate and ccv in the same team.

Would be careful returning any of these players to a plastic pitch though. Keep them away from that, we want them injury free for the run in here

 

Of the 30 league games, he's been available for only 9, unavailable for 21 of them.
Of those 9 he's only started 4 games, came off the bench 4 times and remained on the bench 1 time.
Of those 9 appearances, only once did he manage 90 minutes.
In total he has managed 390 minutes. The equivalent of 4.33 games.

In those 4 games (rounding down for the sake of simplicity) he has scored twice and assisted twice.
That's a goal involvement every 90minutes of football.

The equivalent of us missing out on 21 league goals for the 21 games he hasn't played (yes I'm stretching these stats at this stage).

Of those 9 games he played in, we won all 9.

Of the 21 he didn't play, 6 games we drew or got beat by a margin of 1 goal.
Meaning if we assume he was involved in just one goal for each of those 6 games, we would have had 11 more points than we do just now.

Safe to say, he's been massively * missed this season.
Massively.

Back for the final 8 games, really could be the game changer that wins us the league.

I'll take those set of games played and wins for the remainder mate..

 

He was hitting a bit of form as where the team just before he got injured against AM. I know he can be inconsistent but we always look better when he's in the team
