Celtic to Lose Key Forward Yang Hyun-jun Ahead of Asian Games

Yang Hyun-jun, who scored a vital goal against St Mirren, will leave Celtic to represent South Korea at the Asian Games. His departure removes a proven goal‑scorer from the squad, forcing the club to re‑evaluate its attacking options and potentially alter tactics for the remainder of the season. The timing of his exit—immediately after a decisive contribution—highlights the challenge of balancing club commitments with international duty. Celtic’s management will need to decide whether to rely on existing squad depth or seek a replacement to maintain competitive momentum.
