Celtic star Oh Hyeon-gyu reveals moment he learned of Hoops' interest in 'dying to join' admission

Oh Hyeon-gyu admits he knew of Celtic interest last summer and was DYING to join the Scottish champions ever since.

The South Korean forward sealed a move from Suwon Samsung Bluewings in January as Ange Postecoglou leaned again on his fruitful knowledge of the Asian market to bolster attacking options. The 21-year-old has already impressed in the early stages of his Parkhead career, scoring three goals across 220 minutes of football for Celtic. Oh replaced outgoing Giorgos Giakoumakis who made a move to the MLS.

Now the youngster has revealed, as Postecoglou had admitted upon his arrival, that the transfer was in the works prior and that as soon as he knew of interest from Glasgow he was 'dying' to join the club. Oh already has a League Cup final winners medal to his name and says he was very emotional after the triumph against Rangers due to the overwhelming fan support.
