Scout report
R. Hatate is a 28-year-old central midfielder at Celtic, rated 32.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 43rd of 69 on scout potential in the Premiership. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (50.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.87 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hatate.
Judged on this season alone, Hatate graded 21 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 9th of 18 of the 18 central midfielders in the Premiership, on 2 goals, 2 assists and 1.869 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 39 → 21). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 33, 11th of 18 of the 18 central midfielders in the Premiership. At 28 Hatate is in his prime years, and a market index of 4.7 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Celtic finished 3rd of 12 · an upper-table side
1.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 12) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.21 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 50.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.87 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 32.9, Hatate carries the 11th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premiership of 18. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
