Yang Hyun-joon is on the verge of becoming the strongest player in Scottish football for two consecutive years.
Celtic won 5-1 in the 33rd round of the 2024-2025 Scottish Premiership against Kilmarnock at Celtic Park in Glasgow, Scotland, at 8:30 p.m. on the 12th (Korean time). The victory widened Celtic's point gap with second-placed Rangers to 16 points.
Celtic's league victory has been confirmed if Rangers lose the match between Rangers and Everdeen in the same round. The goddess of victory was on Celtic's side and then turned around a minute before the end of the match. Rangers had a 2-2 draw with Aberdeen in the 33rd round of the Scottish Premiership on the 13th. Rangers were on the verge of losing 1-2 until 30 seconds before the end of the game, but Ianis Haj's dramatic equaliser just before the end saved them. This has not confirmed Celtic's early victory, but the competition for the championship is virtually over.

Rangers have 81 points even if they win all five of their remaining games. There's only one way to beat No. 1 Celtic. Celtic lose all their remaining games, Rangers need to outrun them on goal difference with five straight wins. It is a scenario that converges to 0% when confirming a simple probabilistic possibility.
Celtic currently have a goal difference of +75. Rangers are +33, a whopping 42 goals apart. In a soccer game where a typical level of scoring is scored, narrowing the goal difference of 42 goals in five games does not happen.
Celtic's league victory has been confirmed if Celtic only draw in the next round or if Rangers fail to win even before the goal difference is considered. If that happens, Celtic will become the strongest player in the league for four consecutive seasons from the 2021-2022 season. Yang Hyun-joon, who joined Celtic from the 2023-2024 season, can win the league trophy for the second consecutive season.
In fact, last season, Yang Hyun-joon only scored one goal and three assists in 24 league games, so his stake in winning was not large.But it has definitely grown this season. He scored four goals and three assists in 20 league games. Going up in the second half of the year, he definitely impressed Celtic fans. It's just a pity that I was injured when I was riding the flow and couldn't make use of the flow. Next season, we may see Yang Hyun-joon take off as a key player at Celtic.
Celtic are a team with an overwhelming record in Scotland, so the trophy continues to pile up. Last season, he experienced a league and Scottish Cup trophy. The Scottish League Cup has already won this season, and the league championship is now just one point away. Having also reached the final of the Scottish Cup, Yang had a chance to sweep all the trophies he could win in Scotland this season.
Yang is expected to win the fourth league title among South Korean national teams playing in Europe. Lee Kang-in, Seol Young-woo, and Baek Seung-ho are the most likely candidates.
