Oh instant Celtic impact poser swerved by Cho Gue Sung as transfer reality check looms in Klinsmann South Korea call

South Korea striker Cho Gue-Sung has played down questions over his international starting spot following Hyeon-gyu Oh's breakthrough for Celtic.

Cho is facing the reality of a transfer sliding doors moment having been on Celtic 's radar in January after catching the eye at the World Cup in Qatar, but would opt to remain at Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors to focus on hit fitness levels and pursue a summer transfer to European football. Ange Postecoglou would instead turn to Oh, who has made an instant impression on the Parkhead faithful following his move from the Suwon Bluewings.

While acting as back-up to first-choice Kyogo Furuhashi, the 21-year-old has acclimatised himself to the Scottish Premiership, netting three goals so far since arriving in Glasgow's east end including the crucial second in the Saturday's victory over Hibs. That form has led to calls in Korea for Oh to start ahead of Cho in the friendly double header against Colombia and Uruguay.
