SHUNSUKE NAKAMURA is looking to inspire Yokohama Marinors to their first title in nine years today.
The former Celtic midfielder returned to his first club in 2010 and is still regarded as an iconic figure within Japanese football.
Attendances at he club have risen from 23,000 to 30,000 since his return, while 45,000 tickets have been sold for today's game against Nigata.
In the lead-up to the showdown, the Japanese press were keen to hear Naka's reflections on the day his free-kick won the SPL title for Celtic at Rugby Park in 2007.
