Naka & Koki injured

News emerged today of both Koki Mizuno & Shunsuke Nakamura being sidelined with injury. Nakamura will undergo surgery to repair a damaged hernia, although it seems there is no real concern as to the length of time he will be out for. Nakamura will undergo surgery next Tuesday at the very same German clinic where Darren O’Dea underwent a similar procedure last term. After which the defender was back in action within a few weeks.

Nakamura, who missed a fair amount of last season with a number of niggling injuries, revealed today that he has been struggling with a groin problem plus ankle and calf pain since the end of last season. However with the aid of pain medication he was able to play for Japan in their summer World Cup qualifiers.

Celts Win And Lose Down South.

Celtic travelled to Craven Cottage today for a pre season friendly with Premiership side, Fulham.

Sadly the result was not the best for the massive travelling support as a sluggish Celts side lost 3-1. A Barry Robson free kick gave the fans something to cheer about even if they were 2-0 down when he struck.

The travelling support was rumoured to have out numbered their home counterparts by 6:1 and indication that the Celtic faithful are still as strong as ever. A dissapointment for the fans, is that new signing Patrick McCourt failed to impress because he didn't get the chance. The Northen Irishmen injured his hamstring a few days ago, ruling him out.

However some should keep in mind that it was only yesterday The Hoops battled with Championship side Southampton.

Infact this game was not a friendly but a testimonial for Strachans ex player Claus Lundekvam, who showed great heart by getting the whole pitch re-turfed for...

ROMANIAN JETS INTO GLASGOW.

Celtic look set to capture the signature of Romanian defender, Gabriel Tamas.

Tamas failed to report for pre season training at current club, Auxerre and boss Jean Fernandez looks set to lose his star player. Fernandez said "
I got a call first thing from his agent to confirm he was on his way to Glasgow to talk with Celtic. 'I can understand why Gabriel wants this move. He's a player who has never hidden his desire to progress in the game and he can do that with Celtic."

The fee for the Romanian International defender looks set to be about £3.5million, although Celtic have to haggle with some over sea agents, they expect to sign Tamas after having direct talks.
