Celtic midfielder Reo Hatate is currently preparing for a return to the Scottish Champions for pre-season. Celtic’s No.41 is training with Brighton’s Kaoru Mitoma over in Japan as the pair prepare for the start of pre-season.
In a post from Yatao on Twitter/X, a clip was shared of the pair being out through their paces on the treadmill and bikes.

Celtic benefitted from the return of Hatate to the team in the run-in, which coincided with a great run which delivered the league title and Scottish Cup to Brendan Rodgers’ side.
Celtic were linked with a move for Mitoma prior to his switch to Brighton. It was suggested that Ange Postecoglou rated the winger from his time in Japan.
