The Celtic midfielder delighted supporters after the news broke around ten days ago that he had committed to a contract extension until 2028 in a major boost to the Scottish champions.
Reo Hatate has opened on his challenge set by Brendan Rodgers and why he decided to put pen to paper on a long-term deal.
Hatate quickly established himself as a key player in the ranks and has been looking better with each passing game since his return from the injury sustained in August at Aberdeen. He put in a man of the match display in the weekend win over Kilmarnock, capped off with a brilliant goal that showed off all his key attributes. He kicked off the move with a stunning piece of skill in the middle of the park before driving at the Killie backline and firing low into the corner.
