Oh is off the mark and just how good is it to see a new Celtic striker open his goalscoring account for the club?
Whenever a new striker joins the club, there is always that fear if he is going to be successful or not as the pressure to hit the ground running is always there.
And that is especially difficult if you know most of your appearances are going to come from the bench.
But when Oh scored this goal:
🇰🇷 It's go for Oh!

All the excitement surrounding the goal overshadowed a key moment that made the goal possible and wasn’t shown in the official tweet.
It was in the build up to Oh’s goal that this incredible piece of skill by Reo Hatate seemed to have gone unnoticed.
Have a look at this:

Absolutely magnificent from the Japanese midfielder.
Hatate has proven since he joined the club last January just how vital he is to this Celtic side.
And this pice of skill show how versatile he is. A superb attacking midfielder, Hatate has more than just the passing nous to break open defences.
His little backheel is one that Jota would have been proud of.
With Oh now off the mark, his goal couldn’t have come at a better time, especially as we don’t know the extent of Kyogo’s shoulder injury.
But one thing is for sure. With players like Hatate around him he will definitely flourish in this Celtic side.
The range of skills that Hatate possesses is massive.
He is a very talented and gifted player. I always expect the unexpected from Reo.
A truly brilliant and remarkable player.
