Watch as Postecoglou Celtic signing scores crucial winner in Belgian title race

Former Celtic striker Oh Hyeon-gyu delivered a match-winning performance for Genk last night, scoring the decisive goal in a 2-1 victory over Union Saint-Gilloise.

The South Korean forward, who joined Genk permanently last summer after a stint at Celtic, has been in impressive form, and his latest contribution proved crucial as his side secured a vital three points.

Oh’s goal, which came with just under 10 minutes remaining, extended Genk’s lead to 2-0 and ultimately sealed the win, despite a late consolation from USG.

Oh’s journey to this point has been marked by steady progress and adaptability. The 23-year-old initially moved to Celtic under the management of Ange Postecoglou, arriving as a replacement for Giorgos Giakoumakis.

During his time at Parkhead, Oh made 47 appearances and scored 12 goals, showcasing his potential as a reliable forward. His performances earned him a move to Genk, where he has continued to develop and make an impact. In 32 appearances for the Belgian side, Oh has found the net 10 times, demonstrating his growing confidence and consistency in front of goal.

Recently, Oh has hit a rich vein of form, scoring twice in his last two matches. His latest goal against Union Saint-Gilloise not only highlighted his sharp instincts in the box but also underscored his importance to Genk’s ambitions this season.

The win keeps Genk firmly in the hunt for silverware as the Belgian league prepares to split into three sections for the playoff phase. Genk will compete in the Playoff Championship group, where they will aim to clinch what would be only the fourth league title in the club’s history.

Oh’s rise has been a testament to his hard work and ability to adapt to new challenges. From his early days at Celtic to his current success in Belgium, he has shown a knack for stepping up in key moments.

His goal against USG is just the latest example of his growing influence on the pitch. As Genk gear up for the decisive phase of the season, Oh’s form will be crucial to their hopes of lifting the league trophy.

For the South Korean striker, this is another step forward in what promises to be a bright and promising career.
