Yang Hyun-jun underlines Celtic value with St Mirren goal before Asian Games

Yang Hyun-jun reinforced his importance to Celtic by scoring a vital goal against St Mirren before leaving to take part in the Asian Games. The strike highlighted the attacking contribution the player provides to the team at a key moment. BBC Sport reported the sequence, noting that Yang departed for the multi-sport tournament after his decisive contribution in the match. His absence will remove a proven goal threat from Celtic’s options while he is away. Celtic must adapt their squad plans for the period Yang is at the Asian Games, relying on other forwards and tactical adjustments to cover the void his temporary departure creates.
