Brendan Rodgers is full of praise for the exceptional Reo Hatate, recognizing his remarkable transformation into a versatile and complete player. The Japanese star showcased his talent by notching the opening goal and earning the Man of the Match title in Celtic’s triumphant 4-0 victory over Kilmarnock on flag day. Initially facing challenges at the start of his tenure under Rodgers, Hatate encountered injury setbacks that hindered his progress. However, Rodgers candidly admitted that Hatate’s performance did not initially meet his expectations. Despite this, the player has since absorbed Rodgers’ advice, regaining his form and impressing with his recent displays. Rodgers emphasized his satisfaction with Hatate’s development, commending his exceptional preseason performances and expressing confidence in the player’s abilities. Despite a less than ideal start last season, Hatate’s current stellar form has brought immense joy to Rodgers as he witnesses the player’s outstanding resurgence.
