Celtic Star on Verge of Breakthrough – Opinion

Yang Hyun-jun continued to catch the eye with another lively cameo in Celtic’s 3-0 victory over Hibernian.

Introduced in the second half, the South Korean winger added pace, energy, and directness to Brendan Rodgers’ attack, showcasing why the manager continues to trust him with regular appearances off the bench.

There’s a sense that Yang is on the brink of a major breakthrough for Celtic. While he hasn’t yet found the back of the net for the Hoops this season, his performances are improving, and a goal might be all he needs to unlock his full potential.

Brendan Rodgers clearly sees the talent in the winger, as evidenced by the number of opportunities he has been given this season. Yang’s pace, willingness to take on defenders, and flair make him a constant threat in wide areas.

Against Hibernian, he repeatedly challenged his marker and often succeeded in creating space and openings.

Rodgers has spoken before about the importance of patience with young talents, and Yang seems to be a perfect example of a player gradually finding his rhythm in Scottish football.

One of Yang’s standout qualities is his fearlessness. Every time he gets on the ball, he looks to drive forward and beat his man. His close control and quick feet were on display again today, causing problems for the Hibs defence. He injected a fresh spark into Celtic’s attack, keeping the pressure on and adding an extra dimension in the latter stages of the match.

However, it’s clear that end product remains the final piece of the puzzle. Whether it’s delivering the perfect cross or finding the net himself, Yang needs to add that final flourish to his game.

His composure in front of goal and decision-making in key moments are areas where Rodgers and his coaching staff will undoubtedly continue to work with him.
