In-demand Yang Hyun-Jun has been warned by his own captain he needs to up his game and leave on a high if he is to clinch a move to Celtic.
The South Korean star played for Gangwon on Friday night in a 1-1 draw against Gwangwu which did nothing to ease their relegation worries. His protracted move to Celtic appeared to move a step closer this week with his club bringing in Brazilian striker Vitor Gabriel
from Flamengo. However, Gangwon skipper Han Kook-young revealed he had a pep talk with Yang before their game and urged him to get his head together despite the on-off transfer saga,
Han said: "There's been a lot of noise about Yang both on and off the pitch. So I had a chat with Yang separately. I told him that even if he leaves, there is a difference between leaving with a good impression with the team and leaving with a bad image of him. I don't think it's up to me to decide if he's going to transfer or not.And if he does, I think the other players will make up for him leaving. I think it's more important for the current Gangwon players to play with more desire."
