Celtic striker Yang Hyun-joon (24) continues his rise with three goals out of four league games.
Celtic drew 2-2 with Hearts in the 23rd round of the "2025-2026 Season Scottish Premiership" at Tynecastle Park in Edinburgh, Scotland, England on the 26th (Korea Standard Time).
Celtic, which continued its five-game unbeaten streak (three wins and two draws), ranked third with 45 points. It is six points away from the leading Hearts and two points away from the second-place Rangers.
Yang Hyun-joon started as a right winger in a 4-3-3 formation and scored in the 17th minute of the second half when the score was 1-1. In the counterattack situation, Yang Hyun-joon flooded the ball that Tomashi Tsubanchara dug into the left side of the penalty box and raised it, shaking the net with a right non-stop shot.
With this, Yang Hyun-joon reported his fourth goal (1 assist) in the regular league. Including one goal each scored in the Scottish League Cup and the UEFA Europa League (UEL), it is his sixth official goal. In particular, Yang Hyun-joon scored three goals out of four league games in January, continuing his excellent sense of goal. In addition, Yang Hyun-joon, who played wingback under former coach Wilfred Nancy, has returned as a winger under Martin O'Neill and has scored goals repeatedly to meet the coach's expectations.
Celtic took the lead with Benjamin Nugren's first goal in the seventh minute of the first half, but allowed Stuart Findlay to equalize in the third minute of the second half.
Celtic, which led again with Yang Hyun-joon's goal in the 17th minute of the second half, were outnumbered in the 32nd minute when central defender Oston Truster was sent off after a video reading (VAR). Celtic, which needed defensive reinforcement, put defender Anthony Ralston in the 32nd minute of the second half without Yang Hyun-joon.
In the end, Celtic scored an equalizer to Claudio Braga in the 42nd minute of the second half to end the match in a draw.
According to "Foot Mob," which specializes in soccer statistics, Yang Hyun-joon played about 77 minutes and recorded one shot, 50% (10/20 pass success rate), and one aerial ball contest. Footmob gave Yang a 7.4 rating, the third highest in the team.
