In a disappointing turn of events, on-loan midfielder Celtic midfielder Kwon Hyeok-kyu will miss the remainder of the season due to a hamstring injury. This setback was confirmed by St Mirren’s manager, Stephen Robinson, in a conversation with BBC Scotland.
Kwon, 23, who joined the Buddies in January from Celtic, has been an important figure in the team’s midfield, making nine starts.
“Unfortunately, we’ve lost Kwon for the rest of the season with a hamstring injury,” Robinson told BBC Scotland, expressing disappointment over the loss of a key player at a critical part of the season.
Kwon will return to Celtic’s training centre at Lennoxtown earlier than planned to begin his recovery process. His performance with St Mirren had been promising, and his absence will be keenly felt by the team as they navigate the final games of the Premiership.
The future of the South Korean midfielder remains uncertain, with Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers expected to assess Kwon’s situation over the summer. The decision will likely hinge on his recovery progress and the potential roles he could fulfill in the Celtic squad next season.
There is likely going to be a lot of changes at Celtic in the summer, whether they win the title or not. the bhoys need to get recruitment right.
