Celtic FC are delighted to announce the signing of Hayato Inamura, who has joined the club on a four-year deal from Japanese side, Albirex Niigata, subject to international clearance

Summer signing Ross Doohan will make his debut for Celtic in the pre-season friendly against Queen’s Park.

The goalkeeper is the only of five new arrivals to be involved in the warm-up tie in Glasgow this evening.

Auston Trusty, Callum McGregor, Arne Engels, Luke McCowan and Johnny Kenny also start in a mixed first-team and academy line-up for Celtic.

CELTIC XI: Doohan, Donovan, Murray, Trusty, Frame, McGregor, Engels, McCowan, Bonnar, Montgomery, Kenny.

SUBS: Oluwayemi, Clarke, Sumers, McPherson, Robertson, Ure, McArdle, Hatton, Turley, Welsh, Kyle, Isiguzo, Daly.

Johnny Kenny took a first opportunity to further impress Brendan Rodgers as Celtic made a winning start to their pre-season schedule.

The Irish striker made top-team strides in the second-half of last term having returned from a loan spell at Shamrock Rovers and netted before the end of term at Aberdeen.

Rodgers is on the lookout for an established hitman with Kyogo Furuhashi yet to be replaced after leaving in January.

Daizen Maeda, Adam Idah and new signing Callum Osmand are in the mix, but Kenny took his opening chance to shine with a sharp finish which defeated Queen’s Park.

The 22-year-old’s strike was enough to see off Sean Crighton’s Championship hosts on a drab night at Lesser Hampden.

Despite a multitude of recognised stalwarts missing, Celtic’s starting line-up included familiar faces with a near first-pick midfield trio as Arne Engels and Luke McCowan lined up alongside skipper Callum McGregor in the engine room.

A minute’s applause for Lisbon Lion John Clark was held just prior to kick-off and Kenny, who led the line at the outset, made his mark for Rodgers after 20 minutes with an instant finish into the top corner from kid Mitchel Frame’s cutback.
