Celtic’s Hyunjun Yang gets stunning South Korea boss verdict after Asian Games glory

South Korea manager Min-sung Lee named Celtic winger Hyunjun Yang as his personal MVP of the Asian Games despite the forward playing just one match due to a hamstring injury. South Korea defeated Japan 1-0 in the final to claim the gold medal courtesy of a goal from Swansea City attacker Ji-sung Eom. Lee highlighted Yang's sacrifices behind the scenes as vital to the squad's overall tournament success.

While sidelined, Yang supported his teammates, including rooming with Tottenham winger Min-hyeok to help him handle pressure. Celtic now face fitness questions surrounding Yang ahead of their Scottish Premiership match against Motherwell.
