There was talk Hatate had downed tools amid exit links but he's back from injury with a bang and one pundit is loving every minute of it.
Flying Reo Hatate is better now than EVER - and the doubters who thought his Celtic race was run are eating their words.
But two and two make five if you do the maths wrong and that seems to be the case in Hatate's instance. After a short spell on the sidelines, he's come roaring back into the starting lineup and was instrumental in their victory over Livingston, pulling the strings in midfield and scoring his first goal of the season from the spot.
But he'd be quite happy to see it down the line as he said on Clyde 1 Superscoreboard: “There's been talk of a new contract. He came back, he was injured and whether Ange leaving had an effect on him we don’t know, we can only speculate looking from the outside. But he’s got himself back. He is getting fitter, he’s getting stronger as I said there, there is no doubt in my mind Celtic are a better team with Reo Hatate in the midfield.
