Celtic have a number of players on loan at the moment. Players who needed to get out of the club to get some gametime.
Whilst some are grateful for just getting minutes on the pitch, ones like Yosuke Ideguchi, are helping their loan clubs become successful.
Not only is Ideguchi doing that, but he has helped his club, Avispa Fukuoka, create history this weekend by not only getting them to their first-ever J League Cup Final, but their first major domestic final ever since they were founded in 1981. [J League]
Ideguchi has been a mainstay in the J League side’s first team this season. Appearing 26 times for Fukuoka, Ideguchi has helped his teammates solidify a mid-table position in Japan’s top tier.
Does Yosuke Ideguchi have a Celtic future?
Honestly, you would be inclined to say no at this stage. For three reasons. The most obvious one is that he is not a Brendan Rodgers signing.
The Celtic manager has brought in players to help fit into his system and when you look at Tomoki Iwata who is not getting a sniff and who plays in Ideguchi’s position, chances for the 27-year-old would be scarce.
The second reason is that there is just too much competition ahead of him already. This morning TBR Celtic have already spoken about David Turnbull’s situation.
