Cho Gue sung sends Celtic transfer sleuths into overdrive as Oh Hyeon gyu joins teammate in 'fingers crossed' hint

With the Premier League, Ligue One, and La Liga set to kick off tomorrow and other leagues to follow suit next week, I figured now would be a good time to recap a handful of our KPAs' preseasons and preview what's coming up for them.

Celtic "target" Ferreira had to apologise after facing a potential three-year worldwide football ban from FIFA when he posted a screenshot of his own 100 dollar bet on Gremio earlier this year. The Scottish Premiership champions have been linked with a move for the Brazilian 25-year-old Gremio forward, who has spent his whole career at the Porto…

In December I highlighted some of the top K League talents with a shot of making it to Europe in the coming summer. In the last week or so three of them have come true: Cho Gue Sung transferred to FC Midtjylland last week while it has been confirmed by Gangwon FC and Busan I Park that both Yang Hyun Jun and Kwon Hyuk Kyu will be transferring to…

Former Tottenham striker Louis Saha has named his former club as his wildcard prediction to win the English Premier League next season - due to the arrival of Ange Postecoglou. The Australian ended his time at Celtic Park just days after lifting the Scottish Cup to secure a historic eighth Treble for the Hoops as he made the move to north London…

Celtic could face a fight to keep Matt O'Riley as a clutch of La Liga clubs run the rule over the Danish youth international. The midfielder joined the Premiership champions from MK Dons in January 2022 and has impressed throughout his time at Parkhead, attracting plenty of rumours that other clubs are keen on his services. According to the Daily…

The season is rapidly approaching - and that means plenty of done deals arriving. It really is back to business. Rangers boss Michael Beale was back at Auchenhowie on Friday and wants to add up to three more players to the five he's already signed. Jose Cifuentes wasn't involved in LAFC's squad and could arrive at Ibrox imminently while Cyriel…

Rangers will go head-to-head with their Old Firm rivals Celtic once again this weekend. The Gers come into the game off the back of a 1-0 win at home to Aberdeen - with Todd Cantwell scoring the only goal of the game. Michael Beale's side are yet to win against their bitter rivals this season heading into this weekend's clash. Ahead of the…

Celtic hero Ki Sung-yeung believes new star and fellow countryman Oh Kyeon-gyu has'huge potential' to succeed at Parkhead. Oh joined Celtic late in the January transfer window with Giorgos Giakoumakis' then-imminent move to Atlanta United picking up the pace, leaving Kyogo Furuhashi as the only out-and-out striker at the club. With big shoes to…

THERE was the usual eleventh-hour deadline-day drama as Premiership clubs scrambled to beat the cut-off. Giorgos Giakoumakis' move from Celtic was left hanging in the balance with the Greek striker holding off making a final decision between MLS outfit Atlanta United and J-League Urawa Red Diamonds. The American and Japanese signing windows still…

There are just over 24 hours left in the January transfer window but there could still be some at Celtic heading out the exit door. Ange Postecoglou and Michael Nicholson had already been very busy in the market before this month's window had even officially opened, with their first signing being completed weeks beforehand in the form of Japanese…

World No. 2 Ons Jabeur and controversial Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios recently engaged in a table tennis match ahead of the Australian Open 2023.

Celtic have been linked with a move for South Korean international striker Cho Gue-sung, but they face a battle for his signature. After scoring twice against Ghana at the 2022 World Cup, the 24-year-old has become hot property and Celtic Park has long been mentioned as a potential destination. There are, however, other teams involved in this…

CELTIC will be hoping history does not repeat itself when they face Kilmarnock in the Viaplay League Cup semi-final at Hampden on Saturday evening. The holders go into the encounter as overwhelming favourites following two successive victories over Derek McInnes' side in the Premiership this season - 5-0 at Rugby Park in August and 2-0 at Parkhead…

There may be three new faces in the door but Celtic supporters know full well Ange Postecoglou's mantra to'never stop' goes beyond the pitch. The signings of Yuki Kobayashi, Alistair Johnston and Tomoki Iwata have been greatly received, of course, but punters always want more and a new forward goes from probability to likely banker if Giorgos…

Former Celtic manager Neil Lennon has stated that Kyogo Furuhashi is one of the players in Ange Postecoglou's squad he would like to have worked with. The 27-year-old frontman has been on fine form this campaign and is currently the joint top scorer in the Scottish Premiership alongside Lawerence Shankland. It is fair to say that the Japanese…

TWO TEAMS are reportedly in the running to sign free agent Cristiano Ronaldo and have put offers on the table.

There are always a handful of players who take full advantage of the World Cup, turning a few brilliant games into a big-money transfer that catapults them up the football food chain. Perhaps Cho Gue-sung will be that player. But, at the very least, he has been catapulted into stardom. To an extent it's because of his play. He scored two goals in…

South Korea enter the World Cup group stage for the 10th successive edition in Qatar and 20 years on from their most famous side. The fourth-placed finish at the 2002 World Cup is the standard to aspire too, and in Son Heung-min they possess a genuine superstar to provide the spark. The Tottenham striker will be tasked with making the difference,…

Australian legend Tim Cahill believes that Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou will have aspirations of working in the English Premier League one day. However, the former Everton man also thinks that the ex-Socceroos boss might want to see out his project at Celtic before considering a move. After a successful first 12 months in the Parkhead…

Ange Postecoglou's pre-World Cup cautionary note to Celtic fans forewarned the prospect of waving goodbye to some Parkhead favourites. But as the January transfer window looms, the Premiership champions could end up with more Qatar ins than outs. Canada right-back Alistair Johnston arrived in Glasgow on Monday after signing a five-year deal to join…

Celtic are one of three clubs interested in Szymon Wlodarczyk, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, with Anderlecht and Freiburg also tracking the 20-year-old forward currently with Gornik Zabrze and who has been described as the "young Lewandowski" in the Polish media.

Chris Sutton has poked fun at Rangers in a cheeky response to a Tottenham fan on social media. The Celtic hero hit back at a Spurs fan on Twitter in his usual jovial fashion.

Four consecutive wins, including a derby victory over title rivals Rangers, sent Brendan Rodgers' Celtic bounding into the winter break on a high. But, despite the eight-point lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership, the threat from an Ibrox side improving rapidly since Philippe Clement became manager is unlikely to be going away any time soon.…
