Yang Hyun-jun’s Preseason Masterclass Ignites Celtic Hopes

Rise of a Speedster on Glasgow Turf

Celtic’s summer friendlies have rarely shone brighter than when Yang Hyun-jun charged into the spotlight. First he etched his name on the scoresheet in the 4-0 demolition of Newcastle, slipping past defenders before coolly finishing, then sprang back to life against Ajax by drilling home an equalizer in the 21st minute. His blistering pace and razor-sharp dribbling left fans breathless and left Hungary Park buzzing about the next chapter in his Celtic story!
Can anyone tame this Korean dynamo on the wing?

Fan Frenzy from Naver to Tistory

Online fan hubs erupted after each goal, with more than 80 percent of Naver blog posts celebrating his swift impact and applauding his direct running. Tistory discussions debated Rodgers’ lineups, urging the manager to reward such form with a regular starting spot. Even overseas forums chimed in, mixing excitement with hope that Yang’s breakout could signal a new wave of Korean talent thriving in Europe.

Bridging K League Spirit to Europe

Born in 2002 and forged at Gangwon FC, Yang carries the pride of K League fans with every sprint down the flank. His journey from scoring eight goals in the 2022 K League season to dazzling crowds at Celtic Park illustrates the growing bridge between Korean domestic football and storied European clubs. For many Korean supporters, his rise embodies a dream: seeing homegrown stars leave their mark on the world stage.

Road Ahead: Commanding the Starting XI

With two stunning preseason strikes already under his belt, Yang’s bid for a first-team berth has never looked stronger. Will Brendan Rodgers hand him a regular role when competitive fixtures kick off? Fans are already imagining the roar of the Parkhead faithful when Yang Hyun-jun bursts past defenders in the Scottish Premiership—one question remains: can he keep this meteoric pace rolling into the new season?
