A lot of Celtic fans are drooling over a Shunsuke Nakamura goal that he scored on this day (April 16th) in 2008 against Old Firm rivals Rangers.
It was a fabulous curling half volley after he picked the ball up from outside the box and it left the Rangers goalkeeping flailing as it went into the top left corner, via BBC Sport.

The goal 20 minutes into the first half gave the Hoops the lead and even though The Gers pulled one back, Celtic managed to seal the three points in the 90th minute thanks to a strike from Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink.
Nakamura had a great spell at the club, managing 28 goals and 36 assists in 142 games, per Transfermarkt, whilst he also won the league three times and three domestic cups as well.
At the age of 41, the attacking midfielder has not hung up his boots, and currently plays for Japanese side Yokohoma FC, where he has scored one goal in 12 appearances.
