GLASGOW, SCOTLAND - SEPTEMBER 21: Celtic's Yang Hyun-Jun celebrates after scoring to make it 1-0 during a Premier Sports Cup Quarter-Final match between Partick Thistle and Celtic at The Wyre Stadium at Firhill, on September 21, 2025, in Glasgow, Scotland.

The goal scored by Yang Hyun-jun against Partick Thistle was a strange one- barely celebrated by the Celtic support.
Firhill was bathed in sunshine for the League Cup tie, the away support were in fine voice with rebellion in the air as they protested against their board of directors.
For 25 minutes Celtic had been in and around the Thistle penalty box but had failed to find the net, it has been a pattern of matches this season.
That changed in the 26th minute. Seb Tounekti found Ben Nygren in space, a high cross from the bye-line was met at the back posy by Yang- and then things seemed to fall silent.
With a defender on the line from the Jackie Husband Stand and on TV it looked like the ball had gone the wrong side of the post.
The crowd quietened down, it seemed like a missed chance then everyone realised that Yang was being congratulated- 1-0 Celtic!
There was no doubting the goal scored by Liam Scales two minutes later, glancing in a front post header from a corner.
Celtic scored twice after the break as they booked their semi-final place but there was something strange about the opening goal that can’t quite be nailed down.
Maybe that was Yang’s ‘protest’ against the board after he failed to secure a move after being strongly linked with Norwich and then Birmingham. He didn’t look too pleased.
That article written today by the BOOZE JOCKEY JACKASS JACKSON is an absolute insult to journalism.
The ARSE lickibg he was doing to wee Barry Ferguson was HORRENDOUS, all that was missing there was, oh Barry have you done a big shite, wait there until I get some andrex to clean your arse for you.
Russell Martin is the sevci manager but it was wee Barry and FATMAN Dodds that created the goal Ronaldo Raskin scored.
Praising Ronaldo Raskin for undermining the sevco manager,totally embarresing Martin in front of all the players,can you imagine if Ronaldo Raskin did that to wee Benny in front of the players.
JACKASS JACKSON THE BOOZE JOCKEY would be getting an exclusive from wee shellsuit Bob and the 3 Stoogies about his behaviour to in the dressing room.
I think the Yang header went in off a defender, not 100% sure. There is a view of Yang angled to the goal after connecting with the ball and a defender trying to make his profile bigger and staggering back slightly as if impacted by something.
I’m sorry Jack but I would disagree, can you tell me of any one off protests that ever brought about change? Maybe Bobby Sands should have skipped lunch instead or the great Muhammed Ali should have said I will get the next Huey to Vietnam. Continued action is the only thing that will force change. As for Palestine, we have a moral right to use our collective to call that out, our very existence is born from genocide from an oppression and occupation of our homeland. I don’t believe that any of the flag waving is anti Jewish and I don’t believe anyone can show where we have been. We are standing against a regime hell bent on eradication of a people and the theft of land. Sound familiar? I am proud to be a Celtic fan for these very reasons. Belonging to this collective has shaped my politics and my values and I can honestly say I believe that we are on the side of good of love and of humanity. Long may we protest for justice for anyone without a voice.
The fuck you on about ? Bobby sands ? Are you mental
Looks like the post I was replying to has been removed. Perhaps if it was still there you would have had the context with which my comment was made. The post said that we should only protest once against the board, that should be it and we should now stop. You obviously got the wrong idea hence your aggressive tone and only singling out that comment in my reply. Oh and yes I am neural divergent so I suppose I am mental, but I am medicating for it.
Think an actual goal was scored at Firhill decades ago and it never counted because a dopey ref thought it hit the post and came out but it was the staunchen at the back of the net…
Don’t think it was Celtic or Sevco involved that time though !
Yes ut was strange loved seeing crowd up on hill getting a free veiw off game it’s a well known spot for years Locals named it misers Hill people would watch the game there rather than pay the thistles longer grass on the pitch might have cost them as one of their players went through from the halfway line only for the ball to get held up in the long grass
