Oh Hyun-gyu, who moved to Scotland Celtic, lifted the championship trophy in a month.
He fully enjoyed the joy of his rise to the top, even hanging a medal around his neck.
Celtic defeated rival Rangers 2-1 in the 2022/23 season Scottish League Cup final held at Hampton Park in Glasgow, Scotland on the 27th and achieved the top spot for the second consecutive year following last year.
On this day, Oh Hyun-kyu was listed on the substitute list, and in the 31st minute of the second half, he took the place of Kyogo Furuhashi, the main character of the multi-goal, and played just under 20 minutes until extra time, contributing to the victory. He worked hard in his defense as well, receiving a yellow card three minutes after being put in.
Celtic laughed as Japanese striker Furuhashi, who is leading the score this season in the Scottish Premiership, scored consecutive goals.
Furuhashi scored the opening goal in the 44th minute of the first half by lightly pushing a ground ball cross from the left flank by leftback Greg Taylor from the front.
Then, in the 11th minute of the second half, Leo Hatate, who received a pass from Australian midfielder Aaron Mui, immediately connected the ball to the center, and Furuhashi rushed in and succeeded in scoring an additional goal. 메이저사이트
In the 19th minute of the second half, when there was a hassle before the goal in a free kick situation, striker Alfred Morelos finished and went on a chase, but could not score anymore, and Celtic laughed in the end.
Oh Hyun-kyu fully enjoyed the moment of his rise to the top by climbing on the podium, wearing a medal around his neck and sharing the joy with his fellow athletes. He even took a picture of himself holding the championship trophy in the locker room on his social media account. He also said, “Great team, we never stop! Thanks for the support!”
It is Oh Hyun-kyu’s third win.
Oh Hyun-gyu won the Korea Football Association (FA) Cup when he played for Suwon Samsung in 2019, and in the 2021 season, he became the K-League 2 champion as a member of the military team Kim Cheon. And as soon as he reached Europe, he had the honor of adding another win to his career.
Celtic is currently leading the Scottish Premiership with 24 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss (73 points), far ahead of second-place Rangers (64 points). Oh Hyun-kyu has already played four Premiership games, and Celtic has 12 games left, so if this trend continues, it is possible to win a medal by playing more than 25% of all Celtic games in the regular season.
He also reached the quarterfinals in the Scottish Cup, the Scottish FA Cup, so Oh Hyun-gyu can enjoy up to three gold medals as soon as he comes to Celtic.
