Oh Hyeon-gyu

Aye I personally think we do need another striker but I can't see it happening as we only play with one striker and we have Maeda who can play there aswell. I know folk will say "Aye but Maeda's a winger etc etc" that may be so but Ange ha splayed him at ST for both Yokohama and Celtic so I Don't think it'll be top of Ange's list unfortunately.

 

Nicely guided finish. Link up play was on point

 

* cracking finish fae the big man.

 

love this big guy

 

Loved his goal..

Great run. Bullied their beat centre half to make it as well. A Kyogo type finish..

Played a lovely ball out wide right just after as well and almost made something happen late on in the box but got crowded out..

I've ZERO doubts about this boy coming really good..

 

Did well to get on the end of that cross and steer it in.

Hope he can build on this and go on a scoring run.

 

Was a really good strikers goal, getting across his man and one touch instinctive finish. Unbelievably harsh some of the criticism of him so early from some on here.

 

Reminded me of when Henrik used to get in front of defenders consistently.

 

He needed that

 

Buzzing for him getting his goal. I was keeping an eye on him when he came on, he was constantly pointing wanting the ball, was desperate for a goal.

 

Loved that goal. What a finish.

 

hopefully he can get a few more before the season is over

 

Korean forward Oh Hyeon-gyu scores in Celtic's title-clinching victory

Barely four months into his career in Scotland, Korean forward Oh Hyeon-gyu has already lifted two trophies with Celtic.

Oh played a key part in the latest one, as he scored in Celtic's 2-0 win over Heart of Midlothian at Tynecastle Park in Edinburgh on Sunday (local time) to help his side clinch the Scottish Premiership title with four matches to spare.

Oh was subbed in for Kyogo Furuhashi in the 70th minute with Celtic up 1-0, and scored 10 minutes later to provide the final margin of victory.

Oh, who signed with Celtic in January, now has three goals in 12 league matches this season, and four goals in 16 appearances in all competitions.

Celtic improved to 95 points on 31 wins, two draws and one loss. Rangers, in second place with 82 points, cannot catch their rivals even if they win their four remaining matches and Celtic lose their last four contests to wrap up the season.

This is Celtic's second consecutive Scottish Premiership title and their 53rd overall, two behind Rangers for most in league history.

In February, Celtic won the Scottish League Cup. They will try to pull off their third treble next month, when they face Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the Scottish Cup final.

Oh, 22, left his K League 1 club Suwon Samsung Bluewings in January to become the third Korean player to join Celtic, following Ki Sung-yueng and Cha Du-ri.

Celtic will play English side Wolverhampton Wanderers on July 26 in an exhibition match at Suwon World Cup Stadium in Suwon, Oh's old stomping ground located 30 kilometers south of Seoul. (Yonhap)

Training everyday and learning from Kyogo will be priceless for him. Combining his physical attributes with some of Kyogo's game intelligence and movement will see us have one heck of a striker. You saw it in his movement and finish for his goal, very Kyogo-esque.

 

What stood out to me was the timing of his run and his power, the defender had full grip of his shirt and still couldn’t hold on.

Turned him nicely as well to burst into the space for the pass, a front post move like Kyogo as others have already said. All good signs from the big man so far.

 

Proper bully boy. Wanna see him excoriate a few hun defenders. We love you, Oh!

 

Watch his goal against Hibs and he isn't favourite there either..

Been plenty times he's completely bulldozed the defender. He's ridiculously strong..
