    Starting against St Mirren, he looked like he"d never seen a ball before then he comes on last night and plays like prime Mikey Johnstone (tongue half in cheek). He's a very talented player with a good attitude. Hopefully in future he learns to deal with the pressure of being a Celtic player. Also, he is much more effective off the left than the right.

    Don’t think he’ll ever graduate from being a really good impact sub but there is just something about him, not sure whether you are going to be screaming at him or jumping off your seat.

    Think folk need to remember these players from Korea etc dont start pro football until later. Don't they do national service etc first? So although there no 19, technically they are in development terms. Hes clearly getting better. Hes not a no1 winger, but he's now making an impact so can be used as a sub against tired legs.

    Let’s be honest you don’t get in a South Korea squad if you’re *. My main concern is that he only turns up when the pressures off. He can’t be relied upon to start games

    I think the key thing is that falkirk were pretty terrible and afforded us a huge amount of space in the wide areas.

    Mirren are a much better organised team with a coach who knows how to set up against us. They were much better at choking off the space out wide and closing down our wide men.

    Surely people are still no saying give him another chance. He is wildly inconsistent and let's not forget the game was well done and dusted by the time he come on.

    Judge a player not when the going is good but when we need to push for something and we need to see their best. Time and time again when he's been in that situation he's been brutal. Let's move on people need to let go.

    Aye I'm with you, I rode the Yang rollercoaster last year always full full of optimism for more highs then lows and it just never happened. Too many false dawns for him now when he's looked promising but then just lets us down when he gets an extended run.

    When he keeps it simple and direct he is ok but really lacks consistency.

    Consistency and contributing to games while not at his best, are the two things holding him back from being a proper top winger. The talent is there in abundance.

    Absolutely rooting for the lad, he has till January to make it happen for me.

    Hes fine for a sub appearance at home against Falkirk when were a few goals up. We will be able to get the odd goal and asssist in that situation. I dont trust him to contribute any more than that really.

    Falkirk looked * and offered him the freedom of the pitch just after he came on so I'll take his impact with a pinch of salt. He's already shown us time and time again he's not good enough.

    He was good last night. Needs to show that he can do it when starting though or it doesn’t matter.

    Usual suspects refusing to give any credit.

    I'll give him credit when he does that when we are struggling to break a team down and needing a goal. Not when the games already won and the opposition look absolutely *.

    I think he's fine, as a 4th choice, we need to sign at minimum a new starting RW and at least a good level loan to cover the left until Jota's back.

    No doubt he played well last night. Made a big impact and looked sharp.

    But it was also against a rotten team who had just gone 3-0 down and looked burst.

    If he can do that from the start against teams like Hibs and Hearts then maybe we’d have something to work with.

    That wee burst and run he did when he came on was immense. I initially thought it was Yamada and thinking what a start to playing for us and the realised it was Yang :56:

    I don’t think he is good enough but I do think he is better coming off the left wing than right. Strangely he seems more comfortable going either way on the left than the right where he seems to never wants to get to the byline.
