Former Celtic striker Oh Hyeon-gyu is starting to show his quality at Genk, with his latest heroics grabbing headlines in Belgium.

The South Korean forward scored a dramatic 100th-minute winner against Dender, converting a high-pressure penalty to secure a vital three points for his team. That goal takes his tally to nine for the season, as he quietly builds a strong reputation in the Belgian Pro League.

Struggles at Celtic

Oh’s time at Celtic was far from smooth. Brought in under Ange Postecoglou, he was expected to challenge for a first-team spot, but he never truly established himself as a regular starter. Even when given opportunities, he struggled to make a significant impact.

When Brendan Rodgers returned to the club, Oh’s chances became even more limited. The arrival of Adam Idah further pushed him down the pecking order, making game time almost impossible to come by. As a result, Celtic decided to move him on at the beginning of the season.

Fresh Start Paying Off

Since joining Genk, Oh has been steadily improving, and his latest goal highlights his growing confidence. Taking a penalty in the 100th minute under immense pressure is no easy task, but he dispatched it brilliantly. While he may not have made it at Celtic, his time in Belgium is proving far more fruitful. Genk sit top of the table with this win keeping a good distance between themselves and Club Brugge.
