Yang Hyun-Jun has finally found his form in a Celtic shirt, and the winger has now revealed what he believes is the best part about playing for the club.
The 22-year-old has really stepped up his game in recent months after a slow start to life in Glasgow. Despite struggling for consistency last season and at the beginning of this campaign, Brendan Rodgers clearly saw something in him, handing him minutes in Champions League ties and derby matches.
Since Christmas, Yang has delivered 5 goals and 6 assists, proving he has what it takes at this level.
The South Korean was outstanding in Celtic’s 5-2 win over St Mirren, coming off the bench to score twice and set up another in a dominant display.
Speaking to Celtic TV, Yang revealed what makes playing for Celtic so special.
“First of all, Celtic is such a big club, with so many fans and a great manager, great coaching staff and being able to play with great players is the best part, and it’s a great honour.”

With his confidence soaring and his performances improving, Yang is becoming a key part of Brendan Rodgers’ squad. If he keeps this form up, he could play a huge role in Celtic’s push for a domestic treble.
Whether he becomes a regular starter for the Hoops is unlikely, but he’s proving that he can make an impact from off the bench on a regular basis, which is a huge plus for Rodgers.
