Celtic star leaves with unique incentive but fix needed to maintain winning run

Celtic winger Yang Hyun-jun is set to miss several key fixtures after being called up to represent Korea at the Asian Games for the next three weeks. His prize for winning the tournament is unusual: players who claim the trophy will be exempt from completing mandatory military service, rather than receiving a conventional cash bonus. Yang’s recent performances make the incentive particularly high stakes. Celtic, however, will be without him for Wednesday’s match against St Johnstone, both league games versus Rangers, and a Europa League meeting with Ferencvaros. The Daily Record reports Celtic manager Martin O’Neill is relying on a revamped squad that showed resilience in a Saturday win over St Mirren.
