German footballing legend Jurgen Klinsmann is at Rugby Park this afternoon to watch Celtic play Kilmarnock. The 58-year-old is not just across for a Killie pie, he is enjoying a ten day scouting mission in Europe and that includes a trip to watch Celtic’s Oh Hyeon-gyu.
Klinsmann praised the young striker and also Celtic, referring to the Scottish Champions as a ‘massive club’ and stating that he would be happy to see him off the bench.
🗣️ “Absolutely if you have the opportunity to play for a massive club like Celtic!”

Klinsmann has had his wish and Kyogo has been replaced by Oh for the second half. The striker will be looking to impress both his National Team manager and Celtic’s Ange Postecoglou with a view to playing a role within the run-in with the Celts chasing a Treble.
