Celtic star Reo Hatate has been named Premiership player of the month for February.

The cinch award comes following a run of Man-of-the-Match performances by the Japanese playmaker last month.

The Hoops won all three of their League matches with 3-0, 4-1 and 4-0 victories over Livingston, St Johnstone and Aberdeen.

They also won two out of two in the cups with a 5-1 defeat of St Mirren and a 2-1 win over Rangers in last week’s Hampden final.

Hatate played a key role in Celtic’s winning run and scored a double each against Aberdeen and St Mirren.

The 25-year-old has been a mainstay in Ange Postecoglou’s side since signing last January and has eight goals in 34 appearances this season.

Celtic play St Mirren on Sunday as they look to build upon their nine point lead at the top of the table.
