Japan's Nakamura is SPFA player of the Year

Celtic star Shunsuke Nakamura capped off a perfect day as he was voted SPFA Player of the Year overnight.

The Japan international, 28, recieved the award just hours after Celtic clinched the Bank of Scotland Premier League title following his superb last-gasp winner at Kilmarnock, earning the Hoops a 2-1 win.

Nakamura has been in outstanding form this season and is hoping to make a big contribution for Japan at the AFC 2007 Asian Cup to be held in Thailand, inodnesia, Malaysia and Vietnam in July.
