Yang is finally beginning to show why he was brought to Celtic.

The South Korean has come into his own after starring roles against the likes of St Mirren and Aberdeen while he also performed admirably away at Bayern Munich after coming on.

Yang has reignited his Celtic career and was even hailed by Owen Hargreaves as one man who changed the first-leg of the Bayern tie at Parkhead after coming on.

It had been a stop-start time for the winger before recently and Brendan Rodgers had his say on how far the 22-year-old has come in green and white.

Yang says playing with great Celtic stars is the ‘best part’

Now he has spoken himself about his time in Glasgow and explained what he feels is the “best part” about playing for the club.

“First of all, Celtic is such a big club, with so many fans and a great manager, great coaching staff and being able to play with great players is the best part, and it’s a great honour,” the playmaker told Celtic TV during their quickfire questions.

Yang has been the ideal “super-sub” for Celtic in recent times but the wide man will likely be dying for starts in the coming weeks.

Yang is pushing off-colour Nicolas Kuhn for a Celtic start

The Scottish Premiership title is all but won and it’s the Scottish Cup quarter-finals lying in wait this week when the league leaders face off against Hibs at Celtic Park.

Rodgers has a task in picking his starting XI and Yang might feel hard done by if he is not included from the start having really given his boss some food for thought in recent weeks.

Nicolas Kuhn, meanwhile, has suffered a little bit of a dip in form by his own standards set this campaign. And that could open the door to Yang to try and force his way into Rodgers’ thinking when the Hibees come to town tomorrow.
