Reo Hatate Joins Burnley While Rangers Send Connor Barron to Middlesbrough in Late Transfer Shake-Up

The Japan international leaves Celtic after 191 appearances and 33 goals, giving Burnley a proven midfielder on a three-year contract.

  • Japanese midfielder Reo Hatate left Celtic for Burnley on Tuesday, while Rangers midfielder Connor Barron joined Middlesbrough on a season-long loan, marking two significant departures from the Scottish Premiership.
  • Hatate departs Scotland after four-and-a-half years, having scored 33 goals in 191 appearances while securing five league titles, two Scottish Cups, and two Scottish League Cups for the Glasgow club.
  • After struggling to secure regular first-team football under manager Derek McInnes, the 24-year-old Barron accepted a temporary move to Teesside to strengthen midfield options for coach Kim Hellberg.
  • The 28-year-old, who has 11 caps for Japan, signed a three-year contract at Turf Moor; "It's a fantastic club to be joining," he told the team's website after completing his move.
  • Both clubs continue reshaping squads, with Celtic signing midfielder Oliver from Parma and sending Jonny Kenny to Preston, as the Scottish window remains open until 5pm on Thursday.
