The Story in 60 Seconds

Celtic winger Yang Hyun-jun could make his return from injury against Kilmarnock this weekend. Although Celtic face Besiktas in the Europa League beforehand, manager Martin O'Neill confirmed that match comes too early for Yang, though he hopes the attacker will be available for Sunday's Premiership clash.

Yang has been sidelined since early September after suffering a hamstring injury while representing South Korea at the Asian Games. The tournament victory earned him an exemption from military service, and Celtic have since taken a cautious approach to avoid any relapse.
