The Wilfried Nancy era is over, and Celtic fans are beyond glad.
The Celtic players themselves said nothing following Nancy’s sacking on Monday, with players usually commenting on such situations on social media.
Instead, the supporters heard the players loud and proud on the pitch, as Celtic beat Dundee United on Saturday, with the much-improved Hyunjun Yang getting on the scoresheet.
Yang was a prominent feature under Nancy, playing as a right-sided wing-back, and his words after Dundee United were rather interesting.
Yang’s damning words for Wilfried Nancy after Celtic beat Dundee United
It needs to be noted that English isn’t Yang’s first language, and he is still getting used to speaking and understanding the language.
But on Celtic TV, the South Korean star stated that ‘everyone is together now’ following the win over Dundee United, as Martin O’Neill marked his second return of the campaign with three points.
It’s damning words for someone like Nancy because, let’s be honest, it didn’t look rosy in the garden during his ill-fated 33-day spell.
(My best spell here) to score? Yes,” said Yang. “But I couldn’t expect to score because I never score (outside) of the box.
“Amazing game. We are very together now. I think we have to keep doing what we want to do. For sure.
Yang numbers for Celtic following Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic exit
It’s interesting because during Celtic’s 2025 summer transfer window, there was talk that Yang was going to leave Glasgow.
But it seems as though a move to Birmingham City didn’t transpire because the Hoops simply didn’t have a replacement on board.
In the main, Yang struggled under Brendan Rodgers, including last season when Celtic won the double.
But ever since Rodgers headed for the exit door, it seems as though the boy from Korea is starting to find form that is worthy of him being a regular starter.
Yang’s games since Rodgers’ exit: 14
Starts: 11
Goals: 4
Assists: 1
