Oh 'ashamed' by South Korea debut as Celtic hitman draws blank on international scene

Celtic striker Oh has detailed his disappointment at his South Korea debut on Friday after he failed to score in a 1-0 loss to Peru.

Oh has blossomed at Celtic since joining as Giorgos Giakoumakis' replacement in the winter, notching seven goals in just 21 games - with the majority of those being bench appearances - to mark his name in the Scottish Premiership.

It's been a rapid rise for the youngster, who alongside fellow stars such as Hwang and Lee Kang-in, fell short to a Bryan Reyna goal. But whilst there will undoubtedly be more appearances in the future, the Parkhead favourite was left annoyed with his performance by brandishing himself as 'ashamed'.

He said: “I made my A-match debut and got my first start. I felt a lot of things from today’s game. There are so many things I need to improve and do in the future. I think it was a game where I was able to strengthen myself.

“As a striker representing Korea, I think I should have scored from those chances. I’m very ashamed of myself for not taking advantage of my chances, and I’m also ashamed of the fans who came to watch.

“There were a lot of things that weren’t right in terms of movement and things like that, and I think I have a lot of work to do.

“The coach told me not to get too upset and to keep going. I wanted to give him his first win, and it’s very hard not to. I don’t know if I will have a chance in the next game, but I will do my best to score against El Salvador.”
