Shunsuke Nakamura
The seventh signing of new manager Gordon Strachan, Japanese midfield playmaker Shunsuke Nakumura penned a three year deal
with the hoops.
Nakumura who has spent the last three seasons playing with Italian side Reggina in Seria A is seen as a superstar in his
homeland and is put up along with Hideo Nakata the most famous footballer in Japan.

starting 11 which is likely to be the first home league match of the season against Dundee United.
Let's hope so.

25 games in the Polish league and is looking to be just as effective for Celtic for the duration of his contract.
Adam Virgo

both defence and attack.
