Do you wish Nakamura stayed longer at Celtic?

No, he stayed long enough
Beautiful strike

I was directly behind the goals that night. Seen Naka’s shot swerve all the way from the 2nd it left his boot. We had to win that night to have any chance to win the league. The rest is history ????

Nakamura was at Celtic for four years. He had joined the club from Reggina in 2005 and had stayed until the summer of 2009, when he left for Espanyol on a free transfer (via Transfermarkt).
What do we think?
Nakamura had a record of two goals and one assist in 13 games against Rangers (as per Transfermarkt). Having had his fair share of memorable moments as a Celtic player, it is of little surprise the Celtic fans were so keen to show that they still love the player he was.
