Scotland also praised Yang Hyun-joon (24, Celtic)'s performance as a side striker.

Yang Hyun-joon scored the first goal in the 22nd round of the "2025-26 Scottish Premiership" home game against Dundee United at Celtic Park in Glasgow, Scotland, England, on the 11th (Korea Standard Time) to contribute to the 4-0 victory.

Celtic, which has lost two consecutive games, are in third place after leading Hearts and Rangers with 41 points (13 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses).

On this day, new coach Martin O'Neill also made his debut with a victory. Celtic replaced Wilfred Nancy, who was appointed in December last year, on the 6th when he was sluggish with two wins and six losses, and gave O'Neill, who led Celtic from 2005 to 2005, the baton.

O'Neill played Yang Hyun-joon as a right flanker in a 3-4-3 formation. Yang Hyun-joon, who played right wingback under Nancy, met the coach's expectations by playing as a winger for the first time in a long time.

Yang Hyun-joon, who caught the ball in the arc circle in the 27th minute of the first half when the score was 0-0, shook the net with a low shot toward the corner of the goal. As a result, Yang Hyun-joon scored two consecutive goals following the Rangers FC match on the 3rd. He has scored three goals out of the last four league games, boasting his peak condition. Yang Hyun-joon has scored five goals in 23 official games this season.

Celtic, which opened with Yang Hyun-joon's first goal, scored consecutive goals by Arne Engels in the 32nd minute of the first half, Benjamin Nugren in the 18th minute of the second half, and Daizen Maeda in the 24th minute of the second half. Yang Hyun-joon was replaced in the 27th minute of the second half with a 4-0 lead, and the game ended with a 4-0 complete victory by Celtic.

According to "Foot Mob," which specializes in soccer statistics, Yang Hyun-joon played about 72 minutes and recorded three shots, one opportunity creation, and an 82% success rate (32/39 passes). Footmob gave Yang an 8.2 rating, the third highest among both teams.

After the game, there was local praise in Scotland. "The Herald" said Yang Hyun-joon's goal was a decisive scene that changed the flow of the game on the day.

The media said, "Yang Hyun-joon's goal was crucial to breaking down Dundee's defense, which had been stubbornly holding out (early in the game)." Yang Hyun-joon scored one shot that broke the flow while struggling with the opponent's close defense.

He also praised the goal scene, saying it was like an arrow. The media said, "I caught the ball from the corner of the box and put an 'arrow-like shot' into the bottom left corner of the goal."

"Yang Hyun-joon once again performed impressively on the right side," he added.
