Reo Hatate will take star billing in his homeland this week when Celtic face Hearts.
Broadcaster DAZN have selected Wednesday's Premiership clash at Tynecastle as their game of the day for broadcast in the midfielder's native Japan.
Hatate turned heads with a seriously impressive Celtic debut against Hibs last week before being rested for Saturday night's Scottish Cup victory over Alloa.
It seems likely Ange Postecoglou will restore the 24-year-old to his starting line-up in midweek as injuries once again struck his squad.
Captain Callum McGregor and new recruit Yosuke Ideguchi were withdrawn injured during the 2-1 win.
With Ideguchi toiling and Kyogo out plus Daizen Maeda called up represent the national side, Hatate will be Celtic's only Japanese representative when the match is broadcast.
He's already made quite the impression in Scotland but with his countrymen out, it's an opportunity for him to further enhance his reputation.
Hatate wasn't included in Hajime Moriyasu's squad to tackle World Cup qualifiers against Saudi Arabia and Japan.
But he surely won't be out of the picture for too long if he continues to produce displays such as the one that helped see off the Hibees last week.
Hatate was the standout performer on that occasion, showcasing an infectious energy and classy range of passing.
This week he'll get the chance to showcase to a broader audience back home, which won't hurt his international ambitions at all.
