It’s easier to say than to do but avoid the temptation to judge players too fast is worth a quest – not the least in a historic club like Celtic.
How often did the players have been written off from the very beginning, just to continue the glow after allowing him time to place himself properly in Parkhead?
Take, for example, Nicolas Kuhn, with the German wing with a sticky for the first six months in Glasgow after his arrival from Rapid Vienna, Signing of £ 3 million Completing the 2023/24 campaign with only Three goals and three assists In his name in 18 games in all competitions.
Fast forward to this day and the 25-year-old is now a central figure in Brendan Rodgers‘Side, with the wing witch contributed 31 goals and assists In 40 games so far this term.
It may need to be said to be the opposite, but maybe the same scenario could happen with a man of the moment, Yang Hyun-Jun, with the 22-year-old starting to finally give his trace for Scottish champions.
Yang’s recent rise to Celtic
Signed during Rodgers’ first summer, in charge, Appendix £ 2 million pounds He must have taken on the fair to go on the hoops, after scoring only once and contributing only three assists Total last season.
Firmly behind Kuhn and Daizen Maeda on her hips, former Starlet Gangwon also endured a slow start to the current campaign, and she lasted until mid -January to achieve her results The first goal in all competitions.
Since he went to Dundee, the winged player of South Koreje began to find his slot, especially supplying the assistance for Maeda against Bayern Munich at the Celtic Park, and at the same time registered three goals in the Scottish Cup victory over the Raith Rovers.
Equally, through his last three prime minister’s trips, there is a threat to form Three goals and two assists in his name, with Rodgers gave up to help forward The presence of his girlfriend in Glasgow.
Regardless of the fact that the inspiration for this form in shape, Long May continued, with Rodgers certainly blessed with the wealth of options on his hips after Jot’s arrival in January and the upcoming return of James Forrest from the injury.

Accordingly, for all the praise Yang deservedly immersed in the late, the hoops released a star that has still surpassed Korean this season.
A former Celtic man who now shines somewhere else
Life after Celtic is not always ordinary sailing – just ask Jota.
Matt O’riiley, for example, has only started five games of the Premier League Ever since he went to Brighton and Hove Albion last summer. Kyogo Furuhashi, meanwhile, was an unused replacement in Three of the Rennes Six Games Ligue 1 From his move to France in January.
Accordingly, not all those who move further are damaging to fight, and certain Tomoki Iwata is currently shining for the 1 Highflyers league, Birmingham City, after leaving the old company during the summer.
Japanese midfielder – who moved to England for an undiscovered fee, reported only £ 820 – Never in Celtic has never really managed to shake off his little part player, making 42 appearances in total In his role in the implying of Callum McGregor.
Safe and steady pair of hands in his time in Parkhead, Iwata showed that he was much more than that for blues after he had already started Seven goals in all competitions This term – in front of Yang Return five.
This credible exit involves the efforts of the 27-year-old belt in the narrow defeat of the FA Cup from the Premier League opponents, Newcastle United, last month, with a medium maestro who blew from Range in superb mode.
Such an influence in the offensive sense saw a one -off man Yokohama Marinos who praised his New boss, Chris DaviesWith a coach who penetrates promotion, stating:
“He is dangerous. He has a good technique. We obviously saw him on both legs, and he holds him and puts him good strength, accuracy, so that, coming to the edge of the box, he is naked.“
This offensive quality was certainly rarely exposed to Celtic, as his number of one goal can confirm, with her on Iwatin merit that he was able to influence his new environment so quickly.
Maybe the sale was just the best solution for all parties at the time, but it might be regretted that he sold the signature of Ange Postecoglou on cheap, not at least given that there is still a gap on the team for a rival or heir to McGregor.
As it is, Iwata will continue to play a prominent role in the birmingham offer to secure the current return to the second level, while for Rodgers and CO, the domestic tower is still waiting.
