In the 27th minute of the second half, Kelechi Iheanacho scored a decisive goal, effectively sealing the match. Dunfermline managed to pull one back in the 34th minute of the second half through Josh Cooper.

Yang Hyun-jun's performance this season was outstanding. He made 47 appearances in official matches, scoring 10 goals and providing 3 assists, establishing himself as a key attacking player for the team. Since joining Celtic FC in July 2023, Yang Hyun-jun has already lifted his fifth trophy.

Having successfully concluded the season, Yang Hyun-jun is now preparing for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America. He is scheduled to join the South Korean national football team, which is currently conducting a pre-camp in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.
