CELTIC manager Ange Postecoglou has confirmed that South Korean striker Oh Hyeon-gyu could make his debut for the club on Sunday at Tannadice.
Oh, who joined Celtic from the K League in the January transfer window, has been working hard to adapt to his new team and the Scottish Premiership.
Postecoglou said he was impressed with Oh’s condition and admitted he could be available on Sunday. The manager said: [Celtic TV]
“We’ll see how it goes, he’s obviously been training. He’s had a pre-season with his club for the last 2/3 weeks. He’s in good physical condition, but he hasn’t had a game since November.
“It’s been a big week for him, the signing process, the travel. Physically and emotionally. We’ll just see how it goes.
“I’m keen to get him involved as soon as possible. So we’ll see whether that’s this weekend or midweek.”
The 21-year-old striker will provide competition for the starting position, and his versatility across the front three allows him to play in different positions if needed.
The last time Celtic were at Tannadice it was goals galore, with a couple of hat tricks scored in the 9-0 win. Oh will be hoping for a similar match which will allow him to get some minutes.
Celtic fans will be eagerly watching the game to see Oh in action for the first time and hoping that his debut will be a successful one.
