Reo Hatate closes in on Celtic injury return ahead of Rangers game.
The Japanese midfielder took part in 45 minutes of the Hoops' game against St Mirren, which was played behind closed doors on Wednesday afternoon.
With his return to action at Lennoxtown though, it means he could be in contention to play at Livingston a week on Sunday before the huge derby at Ibrox a week later on April 7. Meanwhile, Celtic flop Alexandro Bernabei admitted he couldn't wait to leave the Hoops because he was desperate for a return to South America.
