Yang Hyun-joon, who is active in Celtic, is showing unusual growth.

Celtic won 3-0 in the 26th round of the Scottish Premiership in the 2024-2025 season against Dundee United at Celtic Park in Glasgow, Scotland, at midnight on the 16th (Korea time). The victory widened Celtic's point gap with second-placed Rangers to 16 points.

Yang Hyun-jun's recent rise is great. Until 2024, Yang Hyun-joon was not given many opportunities. Yang Hyun-jun rarely came out as a starter, and he often spent time only on the bench.

Yang Hyun-joon, who suffered a lack of playing time, seems to have proved himself at the training ground. He started all three of Celtic's last games at the end of 2024. There was no offensive point, but Yang Hyun-joon showed his presence and changed manager Rogers' mind.

From then on, Yang Hyun-joon's playing time began to increase. Yang Hyun-joon scored a goal against Dundee FC last month. Yang Hyun-joon, who was receiving the opportunity, began to repay manager Rogers. Yang Hyun-joon scored one goal and two assists against Rays Rovers on the 9th, bringing Celtic to the quarterfinals of the Scottish Cup.

In the immediate match against Bayern Munich, he came out as a substitute and changed the atmosphere. He made an offensive point for two consecutive games by assisting a comeback goal against the world's strongest team. Manager Rogers said after the game that `Yang Hyun-joon did well. He looks strong, he is improving, and he continues to give us energy. The UEFA Champions League (UCL) needs players who can influence the game, and Yang Hyun-joon did so. They showed great performance for us. We still have to improve everything and adapt, but we are making good contributions this year."

Rodgers went on to say, `Yang wants to improve his offensive points and he's starting to have more influence on the game. I can see Yang Hyun-jun's development and strength, and I appreciate his hard work under pressure."

As Yang Hyun-jun's rise continued, manager Rogers gave Yang Hyun-jun another chance to start. Yang Hyun-joon stepped up as a right winger and formed an offensive team with Adam Aida and Jota. Yang Hyun-joon scored Celtic's first goal in the 23rd minute of the first half. Yang Hyun-joon, who caught the ball from the right, gave up a pass to Callum McGregor, who penetrated into the center. McGregor boldly entered the gate and scored.

Although McGregor's breakthrough and shooting were more outstanding, Yang Hyun-jun succeeded in scoring attack points for three consecutive games as he was recorded with the help of Yang Hyun-jun. It's the best rise since Celtic's transfer. Yang Hyun-jun showed his presence by actively attacking afterwards.Celtic won the game in the 35th minute with Jota's score, which was passed by Oston Trusty.

Yang Hyun-joon's presence shone in the second half as well. In the 8th minute of the second half, Yang Hyun-joon ran a solo counterattack. At Yang Hyun-jun's fast speed, the defense pulled Yang Hyun-jun in front of the penalty box and gave him a foul. The referee brought out a warning. In the 14th minute of the second half, Yang Hyun-joon connected the second ball back to the center with a backward movement from a corner kick, but it did not lead to assist as the defense cleared it.

With Dundee unable to fight back at all, Yang Hyun-joon finished the game by being replaced in the 31st minute of the second half. He has been able to continue his upward trend of one goal and four assists in the last three games. Without Yang Hyun-joon, Celtic won a big victory in the 39th minute of the second half when Aida's net goal came out.

If Yang Hyun-joon continues to perform so well, it is not strange to be called by head coach Hong Myung-bo in the upcoming A-match call-up in March.Yang Hyun-joon has never been called up to the national team since the 2023 Asian Cup.
