The most trailed transfer of the window, Hyeongyu Oh (21), was confirmed this morning when Celtic announced the striker will join the club, subject to international clearance. 2022 was Hyeongyu’s breakthrough year when he established himself as first choice striker for Suwon Bluewings.
13 league goals in 24 starts was a decent return in a team that finished in a relegation play-off spot. His final contribution to Suwon was the extra-time – last minute – winner that kept them in the topflight.
At 6’1”, he is 6 inches taller than Kyogo, or put it another way, he exactly fits a Giorgos Giakoumakis sized hole. There is no coincidence here, I expect we will see Giorgos leave as soon as Hyeongyu’s clearance is confirmed.
Oh has made 93 career appearances, which is higher than most young players we recruit from European markets. What is different about his stats is that as recently as 2021, the majority of his appearances were in the lower leagues, and most of them as substitute. As a prospect, his story is all about what happened in 2022.
Another aspect to check when players arrive from far flung fields is how well we can expect them to adapt to our ‘refreshing’ climate. It is currently -8 and raining in Suwon, so Lennoxtown will feel mild to him this morning.
The suburbs of Seoul are a long way from Glasgow, the weather might be kinder, but the food, language, coaching and style of play will all be different. The player will take time to settle (just as Giorgos did).
Welcome to Celtic, Hyeongyu!

If you rank the players who have played for Celtic alphabetically, there is one letter that gives us only one surname. Which letter is it, and what is the surname?
Uliogli, goalkeeper ?

Bada Bing,
I know many people who get the Aberdeen to Kirkwall ferry, with no issues.
Let the train take the strain from Glasgow or much cheaper take the mega bus.
Both the train station and bus station are only a short walk to the Ferry port.
By the time you check in and wait for the flight, you’ll be in sheep territory 😀

Ian Young ?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Oh, dear (see what I did there) you have made me have to rewrite the question, Y is correct, but there is another letter that also only gives us only one surname. As I have been told on here, I must try to engage my brain more!
Ugolini begins with the same letter as several of our players known to the fans as-
Ure Useless
Zhi begins with the same letter as
Zat will never become a player
Q refers to
There’s a Queue to drive him tae the airport
and X refers to Du Wei’s performance at Clyde and Willie Garner’s debut
Both X-rated
SAINT STIVS – the Xylophone was never played 😉😉😉😉
Bit of a punt here. Quinn?
What about Sunny Jim Young?

A barman walks out a pub and sees two penguins chatting on the street and asks,’ Are you two brothers?’
It must begin with X

Marco Di Sousa, Ayrton Inacio, Jorge Farah and Fernando Consul
There were actually four Brazilians on trial at Celtic, in September 1965. Although only two, Ayrton Inacio and Marco Di Sousa, played in the reserves. The two others, Jorge Farah and Fernando Consul, played in practice games. Although all four only stayed a short time at Celtic, Inacio later went on to a French side and then turned out with Clydebank in August 1967. Inacio finally returned to Portugal where he had settled with his family in February 1968
