Reading tonight that Hatate has knocked back potential moves to any interested clubs in;- Greece, MLS or the Austrian Bundesliga, as he's apparently holding out for a top 5 move.
I can't help but think if he'd done thinks differently in the past 12-18 months, maybe one or two clubs in the top 5 leagues may have come in for him.

Definitely, the fact Celtic are still paying his wages too, what if a top five doesn't even come for him.

HH, I said that to people, Daizen wanted his move, played for it and got it, he scored the goal that won us the double, Reo downed tools and took the huff and now he’s not playing at all and very unlikely to attract the attention of any team with ambition.

If we don't sign a midfielder I'd put hatate in with nygren and callum tomorrow night.

Me to Mally,

That's a big call Mally but I don't see MON risking playing Hatate - infact I would'nt be surprised if Hatate doesn't kick another ball for Celtic.
I think it'll be CalMac, Baur and Nygren. If that's the case, it's a huge game for Baur - who's just in the door.
As I mentioned yesterday, their captain, who's a central midfielder, seems to make things tick for his team.
Our bhoys need to take the game away from their midfield.
If their on their game, our front 3 could run them ragged.

2 years left on his contract then he turns 30. No top 5 league club will want him then.
Very good player, wasted for the last 2 seasons.

Just think hatate has something to prove to Martin and potential buyer, baur just through the door and will need time although he could start as he looked tidy on Saturday.
18 Aug 2026 15:04:53
Has Baur been registered in the sqaud for euro game? I know we could make 2 changes up till today.
18 Aug 2026 15:12:07
Mally
You watched him lately he's chucked it. Mental to think he's trustworthy tomorrow. All opinions i suppose.

Johnb88,
we've registered a 25 man squad for the CL qualifying ties with the Auatrians, both Hassan and Baur are included in that squad.

He's not played for a while so no but naybe he'd give us one of the performances we know he can.
18 Aug 2026 16:13:45
Hatate for me is a superb player but has chucked it as far as Celtic is concerned. If I was him I would sack the person that is filling his head with a top 5 league change. He has done nothing in the past season to justify a team from the top 5 would consider him.
And given the fact to me anyway that he has burnt his bridges at Celtic he is going to find it difficult.
18 Aug 2026 16:28:15
I think Hatate will be on the bench tomorrow and potentially used as impact sub. He recently let us down badly in Europe by stupidly getting sent off. Can't afford that tomorrow.
18 Aug 2026 18:59:54
For folk saying hatate has chucked it recently how long is recently because he’s barely played in months
Folk said he’s chucked it since the start of last season
When he came on at half time against Rangers last season did that look like a player who chucked it
Players have good and bad spells
Hopefully him and O’Neil have kissed and made up because an inform hatate with the quality we have signed is only good for us.
18 Aug 2026 22:30:20
He doesn’t want to be here get him gone and anyone else who wants to leave as well.
19 Aug 2026 07:02:17
Was it a Rangers game Hatate came back in for towards the end of last season and bossed it?
Think we routinely over egg the downing of tools stories. At least the evidence is never in the public domain.
Hatate may be needed in some capacity. Reckon he'll do his best if called upon.
19 Aug 2026 07:31:20
Watched him numerous times last season after United away. Boy wouldn't even warm up, head down doing the bare minimum. Folk want to trust him tomorrow.
Anyway its pointless he won't play. Bet anyone a wee charity bet he doesn't play for O'Neill again.
