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!

Celtic’s Jock Stein’s birth records released after 100th birthday

Celtic legend Jock Stein’s birth records released after his 100th birthday
Legendary Celtic manager Jock Stein’s birth certificate has been unveiled after what would have been his 100th birthday.
National Records of Scotland’s (NRS) family history website ScotlandsPeople hold official records from some of the most important events in people’s lives such as births, marriages and deaths.
A new set has been released of people who were born 100 years ago, married 75 years ago and died 50 years ago.
Among them is the birth record for Stein, who famously led Celtic to be the first British team to win the European Cup in 1967.
Their triumph against Inter Milan at the Estadio Nacional in the Portuguese capital led the squad to be historically known as the Lisbon Lions.
The records show that John Stein was born on October 5, 1922 at 5.50pm at 339 Glasgow Road, Hamilton.
Veronica Schreuder, an archivist at National Records of Scotland, said: “The release of new records on ScotlandsPeople is always exciting for researchers and the birth, marriage and death records now added to the site will help many people find out more about their family history.
“Each year’s records contain a wealth of information for those just starting to map out their family tree and for those seeking to branch out their understanding, from the comfort of their own homes.”

Sorry for quibbling. Bobby Craig did replace Jimmy in the 1963 Cup replay. But was that not a semi-final replay rather than the final?
Fritzsong
Definitely a final.
