It’s a relief for the South Korean striker, who had struggled to find his rhythm since joining the Belgian side. However, his first goal will hopefully be the turning point for the young forward, giving him the confidence boost he needs to thrive in Belgium.

Celtic Support Past and Present

Oh took to social media after the match to celebrate his goal, and there were some familiar faces showing support.

Celtic’s Greg Taylor responded with a message featuring clapping emojis, while teaMMAte Daizen Maeda liked the post. Even former Celtic keeper Joe Hart acknowledged Oh’s first goal for his new club, highlighting the connection he still holds with the Bhoys.

Though things didn’t quite work out for him in Glasgow, Oh’s new chapter in Belgium looks promising. With Genk flying high at the top of the table, the striker now has a real opportunity to build on this breakthrough and make a name for himself in European Football. He will be hoping this is the start of a successful run.
