Yang’s call up to the South Korea national team squad is recognition of his current form. The player arrived in Glasgow as a raw 20-year-old in 2023, shortly after compatriot Oh (then aged 21) became a Celtic player. A week later, Kwon (then 22) made it three came in from Korea that year.
Kwon never played a minute for Celtic. He was left to wither on the vine for two years, with short loan spells at St Mirren and Hibs, before Nantes took him to Ligue 1 last summer. He moved to Germany in the winter transfer window and is now a regular in Bundesliga 2 for Karlsruher. Kwon (25) is a 6’ 4” No. 6 who was brought in to shadow Callum McGregor. He joins Yang in the Korea squad this month, and had the profile of recruit we were looking for in 2023. If we’d developed him correctly, he would own the No. 6 role in Callum’s absence.
Oh left Celtic for Genk for £2m in 2024 and has not looked back. A medical denied him a €20m move to Stuttgart a year later, but Besiktas paid €14m for him in January. At 24-years-old, he is a hot talent who is now miles out of our reach. He makes it three players Celtic signed in 2023 who are in the South Korea squad this month. The Koreans rank 22 in the world; Scotland are 38th.
Others who arrived in 2023 were Tomoki Iwata, who starts every week for Birmingham while Kyogo watches from the bench. Gus Lagerbiekle (25), who is ripping it up for Braga in Portugal. Maik Nawrocki (25) came in that summer and is currently on loan at Hannover – he scored against Schalke on Sunday. Hannover will exercise their option to buy if they gain promotion from Bundesliga 2.
Luis Palma got 18 months and more game time than the others before being shipped out. He is a big favourite at Lech Poznan, where he is on loan. Marco Tilio is a player who signed that summer, picked up an injury almost immediately and was then ignored. He rescued his career with a move to Rapid Vienna last summer after a productive loan spell back in Australia.
Alastair Johnston joined from Montreal in January 2023 and despite an injury-hampered season he has been a standout at right back. Illness denied Odin Holm an early chance and he has made little impact since. He is the only permanent signing made in 2023 who has not kicked on in the game.
It is almost vandalism that talent like Oh, Kwon, Lagerbielke, Narwocki and others, recruited in one calendar year, were left to wither on the vine at Celtic, only to prove their worth elsewhere. Why did Honda Civic Man take the job if he didn’t want to do the work? No wonder the squad has a hollowed out feel to it.

No…….but you can…
It baffles me that so many on here seem to come on only to berate Paul67 or anyone else whose opinion they detest? Why not start your own blog or confine yourself to ones you value?
It baffles me too that Paul67 carries on, given the abuse that comes his way most days. Mind you, I’m glad he does.

So you stand with put up planted celebrities from the Hollywood / Epstein Class characters?
And you expect to be taken seriously?
Even the Joker from The Dark Knight sums you up right at the start of his video of ESTABLISHMENT creeps when he says:
“When the chips are down, these civilized people, will eat each other!”
And when Covid scam was rolled out people like you were wanting folk who stood strong to be put into Concentration camps for rebelling against the lobby groups and their fake vaccines.
No wonder these creeps killed the Joker after that Christopher Nolan film in 2008.

How they treated people who did not want to take their experimental “vaccine.” ☠️”

Don’t shoot the messenger….
Good article P67
I would say Yang, Palma,Oh and Nawrocki could have been managed and developed better.
However, I honestly believe that Lagerbielke was the the best 23yo centre half I’ve seen playing for us ( other than VVD ).
Absolutely criminal what BR done there along with so many other things that I’m sure will come out after the season is finished.
He tried to burn the club down and the easily led bought into it.
He’s undoubtedly a great manager right enough…no doubt.
Never a Celtic fan tho.

Did you know that Buckingham Palace released an internal doc on their official royal.uk website 2 days after the Queen passed, admitting she is not human?
The article was quickly scrubbed off the internet but not before people saw it and screenshot everything

Sex pistols were right enough eh.

Evening…
Got that album, great choice of track.
Saw Thin Lizzy in their last UK concert…
Also had “a night on the town” with Brian Robertson while he was in Wild Horses… hic
Great daze indeed…
Hail Hail
TB….it is indeed.
Twice BR left and tried to sign Callum McGregor and twice DD told him to FO.
The guy’s a dug and thickos like you can’t see it.
Dugs on the street talking about Stevie Clarke and his big Killie bus coming to Cellic?!
He would knock the namby pamby Rodgers Riverdance stupidity out of a lot of players.
Yang would instantly become Cellic’s Paulo Rossi.
Imho!

Only the WPB will ask the SNP what they did with the Billions of dosh that they were given by evil Westminster Government to help remove “Cladding” from Scottish peoples homes?!
What country in the middle east was it posted to? EYE!
When the Media don’t ask about it then you know the media has been told to go and annoy anti vaxxers or some other Resistance group of uppity Working class yins!
Its always the people that you are told to look at as loons etc who were correct all along.

BelmontBrian @ 7:57 pm,
Yeah… bit of a crazy night…
A support band were playing down the student’s union…*
Telt them, their guitarist was really good… they laughed…
They were some serious guys on a jam, they introduced me to said guitarist and the rest was history – well for me anyway:))
*Think they were supporting Marillion

Same board who brought Nancy in are still in post.
Sad are the homes….
Balakwisha – like Haksabanovic and Palma before him – looks like he is suited to play in the middle of the three in a 4-2-3-1. We play 4-3-3.
Don’t watch much Portuguese football so I won’t comment on Lagerbielke’s performances or I would feel like a fraud, but Braga play a back three. We play with a back four.
Shouldn’t be too hard to get the basics right.
And why is Scotland’s world ranking relevant? How many Scottish players do we sign?
It’s half the battle when you know who is stealing from you, setting them up for the fall is the easy part, once you have their number.

Lá Pádraig inniú ‘s mar is gnách níor thárla aon rud suntasach, bhí mé ar aifreann agus mo chuid gruaige gearrtha agam níos gaire, agus é i bhfad níos fearr freisin. Sagart nach raibh ar mo aithne abhí ag rá ran aifreann.
Bhí na giollaí ag tabhairt an bhia amach do chách abhí ag teacht ar ais ón aifreann. Rinneadh iarracht chun tabhairt pláta bidh domhsa. Cuireadh ós cómhair m’aghaidh ach shiúl mé ar mo shlí mar is nach raibh aon duine ann.
Fuair mé cúpla nuachtán inniú agus mar shaghas malairt bhí an Nuacht na hEireann ann. Táim ag fáil pé an scéal atá le fáil óna buachaillí cibé ar bith.
Choniac mé ceann dona dochtúirí ar maidun agus é gan béasaí. Cuireann sé tuirse ormsa. Bhí mo chuid meachain 57.50 kgs. Ní raibh aon ghearán agam.
Bhí oifigcach isteach liom agus thug sé beagán íde béil domhsa. Arsa sé ‘tchim go bhfuil tú ag léigheadh leabhar gairid. Rudmaith nach leabhar fada é mar ní chrlochnóidh tú é’.
Sin an saghas daoine atá iontu. Ploid orthu. Is cuma liom. Lá fadálach ab ea é. Bhí mé ag smaoineamh inniú ar an chéalacán seo. Deireann daoine a lán faoin chorp ach ní chuireann muinín sa chorp ar bith. Measaim ceart go leor go bhfuil saghas troda.
An dtús ní ghlacann leis an chorp an easpaidh bidh, is fulaingíonn sé ón chathú bith, is greithe airithe eile a bhíonn ag síorchlipeadh an choirp. Troideann an corp ar ais ceart go leor, ach deireadh an lae; téann achan rud ar ais chuig an phríomhrud, is é sin an mheabhair.
Is é an mheabhair an rud is tábhachtaí. Mura bhfuil meabhair láidir agat chun cur in aghaidh le achan rud, ní mhairfidh. Ní bheadh aon sprid troda agat. Is ansin cen áit as a dtigeann an mheabhair cheart seo. B’fhéidir as an fhonn saoirse.
Ní hé cinnte gurb é an áit as a dtigeann sé. Mura bhfuil siad in inmhe an fonn saoirse a scriosadh, ní bheadh siad in inmhe tú féin a bhriseadh. Ní bhrisfidh siad mé mar tá an fonn saoirse, agus saoirse mhuintir na hEireann i mo chroí.
Tiocfaidh lá éigin nuair a bheidh an fonn saoirse seo le taispeáint ag daoine go léir na hEireann ansin tchífidh muid éirí na gealaí.
(Translated, this reads as follows:)
St Patrick’s Day today and, as usual, nothing noticeable. I was at Mass, my hair cut shorter and much better also. I didn’t know the priest who said Mass.
The orderlies were giving out food to all who were returning from Mass. They tried to give me a plate of food. It was put in front of my face but I continued on my way as though nobody was there.
I got a couple of papers today, and as a kind of change the Irish News was there. I’m getting any news from the boys anyway.
I saw one of the doctors this morning, an ill-mannered sort. It tries me. My weight was 57.70 kgs. I had no complaints.
An official was in with me and gave me some lip. He said, ‘I see you’re reading a short book. It’s a good thing it isn’t a long one for you won’t finish it.’
That’s the sort of people they are. Curse them! I don’t care. It’s been a long day.
I was thinking today about the hunger-strike. People say a lot about the body, but don’t trust it. I consider that there is a kind of fight indeed. Firstly the body doesn’t accept the lack of food, and it suffers from the temptation of food, and from other aspects which gnaw at it perpetually.
The body fights back sure enough, but at the end of the day everything returns to the primary consideration, that is, the mind. The mind is the most important.
But then where does this proper mentality stem from? Perhaps from one’s desire for freedom. It isn’t certain that that’s where it comes from.
If they aren’t able to destroy the desire for freedom, they won’t break you. They won’t break me because the desire for freedom, and the freedom of the Irish people, is in my heart. The day will dawn when all the people of Ireland will have the desire for freedom to show.
It is then we’ll see the rising of the moon.
Laxalt,
Aye right.
Thicko,,,😂😂😂😂
So glad those companies that head hunted me did not think that.I would never have lived in Dubai,Oman,Saudi,Abu Dhabi,paying me bucketloads of cash.
