Brendan Rodgers is unequivocal regarding Yang and the Celtic judgment regarding the winger.

Brendan Rodgers has stated that Yang Hyun-jun is making a “valuable contribution” to Celtic and has decided not to transfer the winger out in order to increase his game time.

In the summer of 2023, immediately following Brendan Rodgers’ replacement of Ange Postecoglou in the Parkhead dugout, Yang relocated to Celtic from Gangwon FC for a fee of £2.1 million.The South Korean was unsuccessful in his initial season at the club; however, he has recently begun to demonstrate his value to Celtic.

Rodgers issued a discreet reminder to Yang following Celtic’s lackluster draw with Dundee United before Christmas last year. This comes as a result. Yang has only made nine starts this season; however, his performances against Bayern Munich and Raith Rovers serve as evidence that he is improving.

During the 5-0 Scottish Cup victory over Raith, the 22-year-old scored one goal and provided two assists. On Wednesday, Celtic suffered a 2-1 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League, despite Yang’s crucial contribution from the bench in assisting Daizen Maeda’s goal.

Rodgers provides a comprehensive analysis of Celtic winger Yang. During Rodgers’ pre-Dundee United press conference, reporters inquired about Yang and initially inquired whether he believed the winger was gaining knowledge from players such as Jota, Nicolas Kuhn, and Maeda.

Rodgers acknowledges that Yang will not be placed ahead of those three players; however, he also emphasized that Yang has fulfilled all of his obligations this season and is still in the process of developing. According to the Celtic manager, “I believe that in order to enhance one’s play, it is beneficial to engage in training and competition with superior players.”

“I believe that the examples set by Nicolas and Daizen demonstrate the qualities we seek in wingers and the potential for success.” Goals may be scored by positioning oneself appropriately. Nevertheless, Yang, he has performed exceptionally well for us. “It is evident that he is a young player who is still in the process of adjusting to the culture, the game, and the size of the club.”

However, he has provided us with a valuable contribution this season. “He has performed admirably when requested to participate.” He is aware and he is eager to enhance his statistics. And it is evident in the most recent games that he is beginning to have a greater impact on the contests.
