Celtic are braced for two incomings in the coming days with Japanese duo Daizen Maeda and Yosuke Ideguchi on their way to Paradise. Ange Postecoglou is expected to add a number of players to his ranks in January with a trio from J-League due in the next few weeks.
According to Dan Orlowitz, who has been a constant in the last few months updating Celtic fans on incomings from the J-League, took to Twitter to say that the pair were in Europe after having their visas approved.
Sponichi: “Final countdown” for Daizen Maeda and Yosuke Ideguchi, who have gotten their work permits and flown to Europe for medicals ahead of joining Celtic.

Maeda and Ideguchi to formally sign after the medical checks are cleared, with press conferences to be held in the near future (very vague language that could mean tomorrow or next week).

It is now a countdown for the pair to join with the manager keen to get his business done as soon as possible. Celtic are short in most positions at the moment and it would be good to have the players in place as soon as possible.
Celtic are in major need of reinforcements having played he game against St Johnstone with sixteen players unavailable, whether through injury or COVID-19. Kyogo has been exceptional since arriving from the J-League and Celtic are looking to plunder the Japanese market with the manager looking to exploit his knowledge of the league.
