Shin Yamada looks a promising player for Celtic.
The Japanese striker was Brendan Rodgers’ seventh addition of the summer transfer window and Yamada has already left a positive impression on the Celtic support.
Yamada has been tipped to replace Celtic hero Kyogo Furuhashi in the Japan national squad after his blistering performances for Kawasaki Frontale in the J League.
And after the Celtic striker was racially abused by sections of the Ibrox support online, Rangers have been sent a message of warning over the new Parkhead striker.
Celtic fans tell Sevco supporters to be ‘scared’ of Shin Yamada
Celtic have had two Japanese stars in Kyogo Furuhashi and Daizen Maeda who have given Rangers nightmares over the last four seasons.
And now, the Parkhead support are warning the Ibrox club that Yamada is going to be ‘the best striker in Scotland’.

His speed is definitely a big weapon.
He will fit into the team even better in the future. I'm not worried.

Shin Yamada admits he has ‘something different’ to Celtic hero Kyogo
After Yamada’s debut Celtic performance against Al-Ahli in the Como Cup, the Japanese striker sent the fans a big message about how he’s sees himself compared to Kyogo Furuhashi.
Yamada said, “I heard all the news about Kyogo scoring goals for Celtic.
“As players, I would say some parts of our game is similar, maybe in front of goal especially.
“However, I have something different which is speed and power.
“With that, I hope to perform as well as him and contribute to Celtic.
“I have speed at one-v-ones, I like to run behind the defenders, that is one of my strengths.”
