The best player of the Scottish "Premier" league season was chosen to be the goalkeeper of the Glasgow team. The Japanese player beat his teammates Artur Boruc and Lee Naylor, as well as Russell Anderson from "Aberdeen".
The "Celtic" coach Gordon Strachan was named the best coach of the season.
This season, the Glasgow club secured the title of Scottish champions, reached the Champions League quarterfinals, and will soon compete in the Scottish Cup final.
Nakamura arrived in Glasgow in 2004 from the Italian club "Reggina" for almost 4 million euros. In this Scottish championship, he has already scored 10 goals. His recent penalty kick into the "Kilmarnock" goal on Sunday secured the Scottish champion title for "Celtic" for the second year in a row.
"I am very pleased, but almost all of the team's players deserve this prize. For example, Neil Lennon - he is no longer such a prominent star, but his contribution to the team's victories is huge," said the laureate.
By the way, Nakamura also won the prize for the most beautiful goal of the season, which he received for a precise shot into the "Dundee United" goal in a 2-2 draw.
The best young player of the season was chosen to be the 20-year-old striker Steven Naismith from "Kilmarnock", surpassing "Celtic" representative Aiden McGeady.
