Oh Hyeon-gyu opened his scoring account for Genk in their 4-0 win over Dender on Sunday night.
The South Korean has been restricted to just 56 minutes playing time over six substitute appearances for his new club but showed good ability and confidence to score a solo effort in the 83rd minute.
Oh spent 18 months at Celtic without quite cutting it even though he had an impressive goal ratio he never quite offered a real alternative to Kyogo Furuhashi.
According to Soccerway he scored 11 goals for Celtic in 1110 minutes.

Going to the Asian Cup in January turned out to be the end of Oh’s time at Celtic, Adam Idah was signed on loan and hit the ground instantly with four vital goals away to Hibs and Motherwell.
Oh barely featured in the matchday squad when he returned to Celtic, he did play in the pre-season matches against Ayr United and Queens Park but was sold to Genk for a fee reported to be around £3.5m before the first team flew out to their trip to the USA.

Lol Gavin the BAWBAG Berry has written an article today in the daily sevco slagging off Malmo,apparently they are a nickel&dime team full of freebie signings and most spent on a player was £1.6 million for Celtic flop Haksabanovic.
Lol that FUD better hope sevco win on Thursday after printing that article,otherwise what will that be saying about the state sevco are in, getting beat with a team full of freebies and players on minimum wage and a Celtic flop player in their team,just how do you survive writing that SHITE.
Obviously The Retarded Record is for Retarded Sevco fans hence why that was printed Joker…
But If Malmo Win it won’t be a good look after that guy has by slagging Malmo hyped up Sevco and by dint their already rabid fans…
Still he got his wee spunky moment doing it (Giving The Sevco Huns Hope) and a second ejaculation by slagging getting to say his beloved word Celtic Flop (he certainly won’t flop using that language) !
Queue the oh we shouldn’t have sold him brigade
