Spanish footballing legend Andres Iniesta gave his own tribute to his team-mate on social media.

He tweeted: “Friend, a pleasure to share a dressing room with you and see your growth. I am very happy that you can fulfill your dream of playing in European football. Good luck, @kyogo_furuhashi.”

Iniesta signed the post off with a Shamrock.

Celtic fans may have to be patient to see Furuhashi in action with Postecoglou admitting it could take up to two weeks to get him in Scotland and training.
