Hyeongyu Oh has faced significant challenges during his time at Celtic this season but found joy in finally scoring his first goal of the campaign on Wednesday night. The South Korean striker’s winning effort against St Mirren in the Scottish Premiership ensured that Celtic maintained their five-point lead at the top of the table.

Criticism has surrounded Oh this season, with pundits like Chris Sutton suggesting that Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers did not rate him or that he lacked effort in training. However, Oh acknowledged the difficulties he has faced but credited his manager for helping him improve and find a role within the team.

Expressing his delight at scoring his first goal, Oh highlighted his partnership with fellow player Kyogo and the valuable lessons he learns from training with him. He emphasized the support he received from Rodgers, who constantly instilled confidence in him and believed in his abilities.

While acknowledging his desire to start every game, Oh affirmed his commitment to giving his best for the team, regardless of the minutes he receives on the pitch. Despite the challenges he has faced, Oh remains determined to persevere and contribute to Celtic’s success.
