The Japanese midfielder eventually moved on from Glasgow in 2009, but now at 37-years-of age, he’s showing he’s still got one of the best left pegs around.
Now playing for J League side Yokohama F Marinos, Nakamura’s side found themselves 2-1 down with just 30 seconds of injury time to play.
They won a free kick around 25 yards out from goal, and the former Celtic man planted the ball perfectly into the top corner of the goal, giving the keeper no chance.
