Turning around a £2m profit on someone that wasn’t making the matchday squad at the end of last season is clearly good business but intensifies the focus on incoming business at Celtic, particularly the need for strikers.
That is why the South Korean international, who has already collected eleven A-caps, is keen on a transfer to Genk. The agile and physically strong attacker wants to revive his career.
After three disastrous transfer conducted by Mark Lawwell there is a massive surplus of players on the Celtic payroll even though Brendan Rodgers finished the season operating with a trusted core of 15 players.
Celtic have reaped the benefit of that with the 23-year-old clearly appreciating the work that Oh Hyeon-gyu puts in on the training ground with some dividents last night.
Oh has picked up a bit of a knock and he’s probably going to be out for a few weeks. He did recognise that he had it and he played through it for a few days.
While the visits of Wolverhampton Wanderers and Roma have been cancelled, a match between Celtic and Incheon United is still progressing.
Wolves were due to play Europa League finalists AS Roma and Scottish champions Celtic, but after weeks of delays by the promoters and tickets not yet on sale for the matches, the difficult decision has been made to terminate the contract with the promoters and pull out of the tour.
