Reo Hatate confesses his Celtic 'relief' as rivals warned Hearts screamer was only the beginning
dailyrecord.co.ukBuzzing Reo Hatate rifled the best goal of his career as his classy feet do the talking during his opening days at Celtic.

Hatate’s ability in just two Celtic outings since his move this month from Kawasaki Frontale has spoken loud and clear. The midfielder backed up his man-of-the-match debut against Hibs with a blistering goal at Tynecastle as his team surged to success over Hearts.
Hatate’s displays have everyone talking, but as he adapts to a new culture and a new environment, the kid insists there’s more to come once he can fully engage with his colleagues on the park.Football is often described as a universal language and no words are required to describe strikes such as the screamer that got Celtic up and running in Gorgie.Yet Hatate wants to keep improving and believes that will come hand in hand with clearer messages switching back and forth amongst his team-mates.Speaking through his interpreter, he explained: “In terms of communication there are a lot of things to do.“On the pitch, I can express myself in football, so I am okay.
