Hyunjun Yang

Hyunjun Yang has been a regular Premiership starter for Celtic in 2025-26, making 31 league appearances, including 28 starts, and scoring eight goals. That output, plus one League Cup goal and one Europa League goal, points to a winger being used as a genuine first-choice option rather than a squad player, with his attacking contribution spread across domestic and European fixtures.

Yang’s season average rating of 6.97, with a high of 8.6 and a low of 6.05, suggests a generally steady performer with occasional high-end matches rather than week-to-week dominance. The spread is not extreme, which fits a winger contributing regularly without the numbers pointing to elite consistency.

Yang’s career path is compact but upward. He emerged at Gangwon FC in 2021, produced eight goals in 2022, then moved to Celtic in 2023. His Celtic scoring record has grown from one goal in 2023-24 to five in 2024-25 and eight in the current league campaign, suggesting gradual progression rather than an immediate spike.

The transfer record shows a clear step up in level: Gangwon FC to Celtic for a reported €2.2m fee in July 2023 after an earlier move into Gangwon with no listed fee. With a current market value of €3.00m, the deal reads as a moderate investment rather than a punt, and his increased involvement this season supports that view.
