Brendan Rodgers has received a welcome boost for Celtic’s upcoming visit to St Mirren, as the squad is bolstered by the return of both Yang and Oh following their stint with South Korea in the Asian Cup. The duo, having seen limited action under Jurgen Klinsmann during the tournament, return to the fold brimming with energy and readiness. This presents a golden opportunity for Oh, who now enters the fray alongside Kyogo and the newly signed loanee, Adam Idah, in the competition for the coveted striker’s position.
Yang, on the other hand, has a chance to silence his critics and demonstrate his worth. Since his summer move to the Hoops, his contributions have been under scrutiny; now, with Rodgers keen on addressing the creative void on the flanks, Yang’s involvement could be just around the corner.
The timing couldn’t be better for Celtic. After an unexpected early exit from the League Cup, courtesy of Kilmarnock earlier this season, and a noticeable dip in form, the team’s collective resolve is under the microscope.
As they aim to retain their Scottish Cup crown, the message is clear: it’s a collective effort, with every player needing to elevate their performance and prove their mettle under pressure. This double reinforcement could indeed at least be the catalyst for some in the group upping their game.
