Yang \induced to leave\ - Oh\s first full-time Celtic start as R
3-0 win over Ross County extends unbeaten run to 12 games to open season
Celtic, led up front by Oh Hyun-gyu and Yang Hyun-joon, defeated Ross County (Scotland) to remain unbeaten in their opening 12 matches.
Celtic defeated Ross County 3-0 away in the 12th round of the 2023-2024 Scottish Teamed Professional Soccer Premiership at the Global Energy Stadium in Dingwall, Scotland, on Thursday (Sept. 4).
Oh Hyun-gyu started up front and Yang Hyun-joon started on the left flank, each playing the full 81 minutes.
It was the first time this season that Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has used Oh in the starting lineup.
Yang repaid Rodgers" faith in him by sending off opposing defender James Brown just 10 minutes into the game.
Brown was shown a straight red card for a dangerous tackle on Yang as he tried to stop him on a breakaway from the left corner of the penalty area.
From this point on, Celtic, having secured their numerical advantage, attacked one-sidedly.
Oh rattled the net in the 31st minute when he stumbled over a cross from Maeda Daisen and slotted home.

It looked like the Hoops had found the back of the net for the second game in a row, following their 11th-round tie against St. Mirren the previous two days.
However, a video assistant referee (VAR) ruled that Maeda, who delivered the cross, was offside when he ran onto the penetrating pass.
After taking the lead in first-half stoppage time through David Turnbull"s mid-range strike, Celtic made it 2-0 in the 33rd minute when Luis Palma produced another spectacular right-footed curling effort from behind the penalty area.
In the 36th minute, James Forrest, who came on as a substitute for Yang Hyun-joon, scored a header within two minutes of taking the field to put the game out of reach.
With the win, Celtic, unbeaten in their opening 12 games (W10 D2 L32), consolidated their position at the top of the table. They also opened up an eight-point gap on rivals Rangers (8 W, 3 D, 24 P), who have played one game less. ??????
