Marinos Japan national team FW Daizen Maeda (24), Gamba Osaka former Japan national team FW Yosuke Ideguchi ( 25) and 3 Japanese players have been acquired, which has attracted attention. Among them, Celtic’s rival club Rangers may also move to acquire Japanese players. The English newspaper “Daily Record” reports on the 20th.

Celtic invited Ange Postecoglou, who was heading Yokohama F. Marinos at the time, in June last year, and in July, Japan national team FW Kyogo Furuhashi (27) was completely transferred from Vissel Kobe. When Kyogo Furuhashi has already scored a double-digit goal and played an active role as a core player in the offensive team, he announced the acquisition of Reo Hatate, Daizen Maeda, and Yosuke Ideguchi on New Year’s Eve last year.

In addition, the three players made their debut in the Scottish Premiership (Scotland 1st Division) Section 21 against Hibernian held on the 17th of this month. Daizen Maeda scored his first goal after the transfer, and Reo Hatate has been selected for the Man of the Match (MOM).

Rangers, who have a strong rivalry with Celtic for a long time, currently have 52 points at the end of Section 21 of the Scottish Premiership (Scotland 1st Division). He is in the lead with a difference of 4 points from 2nd place Celtic.

Among them, “Daily Record” claims that the Rangers need to reinforce the right wing in the transfer window this winter. Six players are listed as candidates for acquisition, but the name of Japan national team MF Takefusa Kubo (20), who is currently transferring from Real Madrid to RCD Mallorca for rental, is also included.

Regarding Takefusa Kubo, “It was rumored that Neil Lennon would move to Celtic before. Playing at Bernabeu may not be possible, but he scored the final point against Atletico Madrid in December. Kubo is still a very promising player. “

Takefusa Kubo has been appointed by RCD Mallorca coach Luis García not only under the top but also on the right side. Is it possible to move to Scotland while performing well after returning, such as scoring a final goal with a lot of money against Atletico Madrid?
