Shaun Maloney has praised Hyun-jun Yang for taking his Celtic career to another level last season after the winger responded brilliantly to a failed transfer move. The winger travelled to St Andrew’s and underwent part of his medical before the move collapsed at the final stage. Maloney said:“Yang kind of just took that right-wing position by the scruff of the neck last year. “But last year, he went, ‘I want to be an important player’. Instead, he stayed, worked hard and turned himself into an important player.
