The European career of rising star Yang Hyun-joon (23, Celtic) has slowly begun to show a glow.

Yang Hyun-joon started as a left striker in the 23rd round of the 2024-2025 Scottish Premier League at Dens Park in Dundee, Scotland on the 15th (Korea time) and spent 71 minutes on the ground until he was replaced by Alex Valle in the 26th minute of the second half.




Yang Hyun-joon scored a goal in the 5th minute of the first half, when Celtic Luke McGowan and Dundee Oluwa Sun Adewumi exchanged one goal each in the 41st minute, and scored a leading goal in the 8th minute of the second half when the score was 1-1. Japanese striker Kyogo Furuhashi poked a low cross into the door from the right. The ball bounced high in the competition between the two teams in front of the gate, and Yang Hyun-joon, who was in front of the far post, jumped before the opponent and shook the net with a header.

Sports Broadcast "Sky Sports"YANG left his mark in a Celtic uniform!," he said, shedding light on his performance.

With this, Yang Hyun-joon scored a first-place goal in 13 games since the opening of the season. Recently, he has increased the frequency of selection, increased his performance, and finally paid off. Yang Hyun-joon scored in a Celtic uniform for the first time in 431 days since he scored a goal in a home game against Everdeen on November 12, 2023. Yang Hyun-joon had been silent for 54 consecutive games since the match against Everdeen as a member of his team and the national team.

Yang Hyun-joon, who moved to Celtic from Gangwon in July 2023, was the only Korean trio playing for Celtic to remain on the team and compete for the starting lineup. Midfielder Kwon Hyuk-kyu has left on loan to St. Mirren, and striker Oh Hyun-kyu was transferred to Belgium's Hent in July last year.

In March last year, when he was expanding his position, he was sent off 15 minutes after the start of the game due to a high-stakes play against Hearts. Yang Hyun-jun, who was holding out, finally got his chance. He has started the last three consecutive games due to favorable factors such as the injury of Japanese striker Daichi Maeda.

Unfortunately, Yang Hyun-joon's goal was not left as the winning goal. Celtic allowed Tottenham's Cameron Carter-Vickers' own goal in the 9th minute of the second half and Aaron Donnelly's back-to-back goal in the 33rd minute of the second half to turn the tables 2-3. Yang Hyun-jun stepped down to the bench in a 2-2 tie. Celtic secured one point as Joker Arne Engels, who replaced him in the second half, scored a dramatic equalizer in the third minute of extra time.




Yang Hyun-joon scored 7.3 points, the fourth highest in the team based on statistics company SofaScore, with one shot, one goal, 95% pass success rate (3 successful), 100% long pass success rate (three successful), 50% ground race success rate (four successful), one dribble breakthrough and three fouls in 71 minutes. Ace Furuhashi had a 7.2 rating.

Celtic, who have been undefeated for four consecutive games, scored 60 points to solidify their lead. It is 16 points behind the current second-place Rangers (44 points). Unless a natural disaster occurs, Yang Hyun-joon is likely to win the league's championship following last season. Celtic, led by manager Brandon Rogers, are currently losing three games in a row.
