Gamba Osaka vs Celtic LIVE score and goal updates from the glamour friendly in Japan

Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers was quick to accentuate the positives and add a dose of reality to the negatives in the wake of Yokohama's six-goal splurge on Tuesday.

Nawrocki offers positional versatility as he can play both centrally
