South Korea midfielder to be given early Celtic debut
As Celtic boss Tony Mowbray struggles with injury to his squad and international calls, Ki Sung-Yong may be given his chance to shine sooner rather than later.
Help is arriving this week in the shape of Ki, the South Korea midfielder who is set to seal a move to the Hoops - for a reported fee of £2million - from FC Seoul.
Mowbray said: "He will be in on Tuesday and come to the game on Wednesday (against Hapoel Tel Aviv).
"We will probably do a medical and fitness testing and take it from there.
"He is 20-years-old. I watched him play in Denmark last week for South Korea and he's technically a good footballer.
"We obviously hope that he will make a big impact and he will be given an opportunity.
"But he is still a very young boy and he is coming halfway round the world to settle in Glasgow and we will see how he adapts to that.
"We have spoken about Scott and Shaun who will be missing for a fair period.
"Landry N'Guemo is going to go to the African Nations, we've got Zheng Zhi who has an Asian Cup qualifier in January and he will be away for a period as well.
"So we are not that overburdened with midfield players and as I've said, if the opportunity comes to bring some talent to the football club then you shouldn't pass it by."
