Former Celtic man Tomoki Iwata found the back of the net for Birmingham City at the weekend.
The Japanese midfielder joined the St Andrew's outfit last summer, completing a rather surprising permanent Parkhead departure.

Iwata has thrived since joining Birmingham and was recently nominated for English League One's Player of the Season award.
His side recently secured promotion to the Championship after winning the third tier, and at the weekend, they broke League One's record points tally by hitting 105 with a 4-0 win over Mansfield.
Iwata netted the fourth in the victory, finishing well after some neat interplay:

The 28-year-old made 42 appearances in green and white during his year-and-a-half spell in Glasgow.
Iwata won five domestic trophies with Celtic, including a treble in his first few months at the club under Ange Postecoglou.
The former Celtic manager, now in charge of Tottenham Hotspur, heaped praise on Chris Davies, who was previously his and Brendan Rodgers' assistant, after Birmingham won League One: "I am delighted for him," said Postecoglou.
"I really enjoyed working with Chris. He was only with me for a short time last year, but I really enjoyed working with him. He was a big part of what we built last year. It was ground zero in terms of building a whole football programme in a different direction and he was a big part of that.
"Your first job is pretty important when you’re trying to embark on a career as a senior manager, and he’s done brilliantly well, which is not surprising.
"I am sure there is more to come from him."
