News from Korea today suggests we have agreed the transfer of Yang Hyun-jun from Gangwon. The player turned 21 two days before our last league game of the season against Aberdeen. Gangwon have won only two of their 22 league games and sit well adrift of safety in the relegation zone.
He is young and playing for a side who are surely the polar opposite of Celtic – always defending instead of always attacking. The journey to Europe, to Celtic Park, potentially Champions League nights and the ever-present need to win, need to always be productive, will take a while to adjust to.
A fee of around £2.5m is a huge amount for a Gangwon, so we can assume this lad has metrics which place him in the upper echelon of potential superstars. Whether that potential is realised will depend on how well Brendan Rodgers and his coaches develop him. We should expect little in his first season.
Yet another winger! He joins Daizen Maeda, Liel Abada, Marco Tilio, Sead Haksabanovic and James Forrest, while Mikey Johnston’s injury almost certainly precludes him from leaving on loan this summer. That makes seven fighting for two starting places.
That sounds a lot, but as my brother pointed out to me this morning, since the five subs rule came in, we change at least one winger and often both in each game, so any four have a realistic chance of gametime each matchday.
With two injured (as there are at the moment), that’s four from five, so maybe we are not overloaded on the wings (pardon the pun) afer all.

And I learned to soften,
and that dance got easier.
It is this eternal dance
that separates human beings
from angels,
from demons,
gods.
And I must not forget.
We must not forget
that we are
human beings.
++++++++++++++
Listen this from the start to then end (and the first 30 secs are a hard watch but bear with it)
“We must not forget
that we are
human beings.”

Good morning all from Govanhill.
Good morning all from a groundhog day in the Garngad.
Rain, wind, rain and more wind.

swe@rin’………………..?
Dearie me.
I know pre-season Friendlies are almost meaningless but I would have given that game a lot more importance had we lost 4-1 :-)))
Blustery day in N Yorks.
CQN has often been the source of some esoteric information for me over the years, so here I go again (fingers crossed).
Mrs Emeraldbee and myself will be walking the Cateran Trail , starting/finishing in Blairgowrie, and I’m looking for information about parking my car for four days in Blairgowrie itself. Any suggestions gratefully accepted.

Welcome Hyun-jun?
Welcome, but, ur ye a Hyun?

Alcaraz verse Djokovic was the final tipped by the experts, but it’s probably still a centre court too soon for the man from Murcia. Djokovic’s unique career is surely at the pinnacle of his powers?
The very partial strawberry and cream brigade naturally side with the underdog any underdog, but Novak has too much in his locker and is likely to triumph. Speed tests and range of shot development on the baked clay courts of Europe, sailed the Spaniard to his first final verse the Serbian with a mere nine.
Love to be wrong today, Alcaraz might get a set, but won’t stop the ten till this time next year .
Jun….yes Kyu….aye.
Yang Hyun Jun
I cannot begin to fathom how it must feel to be the best player in the world at an elite and ultra competitive sport at the age of 19, an age when most of his peer group are still figuring out what kind of work they want to do. Now 20, I hope Alcaraz wins Wimbledon but as BOURNESOUPRECIPE says, it will take something extraordinary to beat Djokivic today. The man is a machine and shows no signs of faltering just yet.
Saying all that, remember Becker winning there at the age of 17.
BSR – thank you for link to Yang Hyun Jun.
From the clips – his acceleration over the first five yards looks to me like one of his biggest assets.

Enjoyed this article but who is Alex?
Don’t forget, Novak is half Scottish/ half Irish. Jock O’Vitch
OK not that funny

As a Novak fan I feel the opposite of you guys.
I never made it to Wimbledon or Queens to see him first hand but my daughter did and she reckons after seeing him live this boy Alcaraz is capable of taking this awesome gladiatorial sport to another level.
I hope I am wrong today as I do really respect Novak and hope he can continue another year. If I were a betting man I would be going for the Spaniard.
MODERATOR1888 – you are welcome, he is indeed extraordinary.

Jun (winger) confirmed by his club yesterday
Kwon (cdm) confirmed by his club today
Expect both to be announced by Celtic Monday/Tuesday.
If we were interested in Livakovic i am disappointed that we are not signing him .
He is a top notch keeper a massive step up.
We definitely need a new keeper going forward HH

We are, IMHO, on the cusp of something very special.
As for Jonny Evans 35 years old ,no thanks ,
Evans will be 36 in January…..
That’s as far I got reading about this move!
I’d take Evans for a year …Great cover

Respect for Novak……you are serious…….God help us.
This Celtic team isnae far away.
Reo was ma POTY, so Obviously I’d want him re-signed.
If he Curtley Ambrose it will be for Ωmega bucks.
This Tennis match should be a Cracker.

Too one sided so far…….
