Ange Postecoglou Celtic signing scores dramatic stoppage time winner in Belgium

Former Celtic striker Oh Hyeon-gyu netted a dramatic stoppage-time winner for Genk last night.

The 23-year-old left the Scottish Premiership champions to join the Belgian outfit last summer for £2.5m.

Oh has made 31 appearances so far for his club, scoring nine goals along the way.

His latest strike came last night, as Genk picked up a 1-0 victory away to FCV Dender EH.

With the game poised at 0-0 going into dying embers, the visitors were awarded a penalty.

Oh stepped up in the tenth minute of stoppage time to find the back of the net and give his team all three points.

Initially brought to Celtic by Ange Postecoglou in January 2023 to replace Giorgos Giakoumakis, despite showing glimpses of potential, Oh never found consistency in Glasgow's east end.

He scored 12 goals across 47 appearances in green and white but now seems to have found his feet in Belgium.

Oh's compatriot, Yang Hyun-jun, came to Celtic a few months after he did, and after a settling-in period, the 22-year-old winger is thriving.

Another South Korean, Kwon Hyeok-kyu, remains on the books at Parkhead but is currently out on loan at Hibernian.
