In January Celtic signed Oh Hyeon-gyu from the K-League, their first venture into Korea in more than a decade and working on the know-how of Ange Postecoglou.
The former Yokohama F Marinos boss has moved on to Spurs but it is clear that Celtic are continuing to recruit in that region.
On Wednesday Celtic play their first public pre-season match under the management of Brendan Rodgers, as things stand midfielder Odin Thiago Holm is the only newcomer to last season’s squad.
