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.

Tennis & Golf aren’t real sports :-)
But what a finish by Rory McIlroy in the Scottish Open, got a feeling Scottie Schefflur (sic) is a great bet for the Open next weekend …
Anyhow … roll on 5th August when the only sport that matters … kicks off
BSR – cheers.
Deniabhoy – when you described Jane Birkin as Serge Gainsbourg’s “ex”
My first instinctive thought was
I wonder how long that list is?
(Naughty of me perhaps)
A 5 set classic on the cards.

“RIP Jane Birkin, singer of the sexiest song ever Je T’aime… Moi Non Plus”
———————————
Sexiest song ever?
You never heard The Wurzels singing “I’ve got a brand new combine harvester”?
Seriously, though- Je T’aime was just teenage smut like Max Romeo’s Wet Dream from 1969.
Real Sexy is Marvin Gaye doing “Let’s get it on”
That awkward moment when Andrew Castle just won’t shut up

Massive respect for Novak.
I am guessing you prefer states (like the USA and Australia) controlling when it’s population or visitors can go have a piss, with no good reason ?
Tim Horton
Equally I have huge respect for the talent of the young Spaniard.

SFTB – let’s just say my comment is based on personal memories of fumblings in the dark and a french girlfriend whispering in my ear. Teenage smut indeed 😆

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.

Roger has retired.
Andy can’t have too long left.
Rafa has indicated he’ll probably retire in 2024.
If Djokovic loses today – end of an era / changing of the guard stuff.

Instead of celebrating outstanding play by two unbelievable tennis players you call Novak a knob; one of the most puerile Comments I have ever read on this site
Think the ‘Wily old fox’ that is Novak might just take this
New baws please!
