Celtic striker Adam Idah has taken to Instagram to praise winger Yang Hyun-jun after his impressive performance against St Mirren. The South Korean was named Man of the Match as Celtic secured another crucial three points in the Scottish Premiership.
Yang Shines Against St Mirren
Yang put in a standout display, showcasing his skill, pace, and heading ability with two well-taken headers. His first goal came in the 68th minute when Reo Hatate delivered a pinpoint cross to the back post, allowing Yang to nod the ball past Zach Hemming with a striker’s instinct. Then, deep into stoppage time, the Korean winger struck again—this time, Jeffrey Schlupp provided the assist, digging out a superb cross to the back post, where Yang was waiting to head home from close range. His aerial threat and attacking movement proved crucial in breaking down St Mirren’s defence, earning him the well-deserved Man of the Match award.
Idah’s Instagram Tribute
After the game, Adam Idah took to Instagram to hail Yang’s performance, posting a story with the caption: “What a playaa.”
The Irish striker, who has settled in well since his move to Celtic, has already formed strong bonds with his teammates, and his praise for Yang highlights the togetherness within the squad.
Growing Influence in the Squad
Yang’s development at Celtic has been huge in recent months. While it took some time for him to adapt to Scottish football, he is now showing why the club brought him in. His performances have been growing in consistency, and games like the tonight against St Mirren prove that he has the potential to be a key player in the run-in until the end of the season.
Celtic’s Squad Strengthening
With players like Yang stepping up Brendan Rodgers has a squad capable of pushing for a domestic treble. The closeness between the squad is clear, and praise from Idah shows the close bond within the dressing room. Celtic supporters will be hoping that Yang continues his fine form when the Hoops face Hibernian next Sunday in the Scottish Cup at Celtic Park, with the Hibees set to take a large number of fans to the game.
