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.

What a fantastic game. Credit to both players. Alcaraz will be going for 10 barring injury meethinks.
Another level.
Good evening all, I hope this post finds everyone in good health. Was just reading the guy who invented “auto-correct text” has died, his funeral is tomato. 😀😀😀HH
Say hello to the Provo’s
Great game of tennis. At 4-3 in the 4th set they’d played a total of 320 points in the match, with both players winning 160 pts each. Talk about on a knife edge! Credit to both players for an enthralling final.
As much as I like and respect the tennis legend that Novak has become, I was hoping the new kid on the block would triumph 👏👏
5th set (not 4th 🙈) Damn typo 🤣
Can afford to get his teeth fixed now👍😬
Absolutely brilliant tennis. Hardly a game won easily. Some of the points were unreal. Glad young Carlos won but felt sorry for the loser, as always. Another game of fine margins. Novak wins the tie-break, he probably wins 3-0. Have the boys arrived in the land of the rising sun yet? Sweltering in Yokohama the next few days. Wish I was there, right enough 😎
Special mention to Bob MacIntyre for his efforts at the Scottish Open, took a fine finish from Rory McIlroy to prevent a victory after a terrific final round from Bob.

Brilliant.
|Love the actual tennis, but I find it excruciating to see the wimbers crowd, all decked up as if they were going to a fucking dance. Its a joke,
BBC News sink to new depths.
Kemi Badenoch’s bull5h1t deal with an CPTPP
(the UK would need to enter into 50 deals of the same size to offset the reduction in GDP arising from Brexit)
…. got just 19 seconds air time.
They then gave her another 12 seconds for an unchallenged piece to camera about bringing down inflation.
By contrast, Keir Starmer’s stance on spending got two minutes.
The word “refused” was 3 times attributed to him.
The clincher …. that would make Goebbels or North Korean TV blush … was the conclusion to the piece.
As the speaker uttered the words “to the problems they (UK voters) face now”
a full screen image of Starmer appeared on screen.
CM- MacIntyre birdie on 18 was amazing, felt for the boy…
