Scottish professional football team Celtic, which excluded Korean winger Yang Hyeon-jun from its roster, won its first 'Old Firm derby' of the season against rival Rangers.

Celtic defeated Rangers 3-0 in the 4th round of the 2024-2025 Scottish Premiership home match held at Celtic Park in Glasgow, Scotland on the 1st.

Celtic, who achieved three consecutive Premiership titles last season, maintained their lead (12 points, goal difference +12) by winning four straight games to start the season.

Aberdeen (12 points, goal difference +6) are in second place, level on points with Celtic, while Rangers, who suffered their first defeat this season after two wins and a draw, are down to seven points.

On this day, Japanese players who were in the starting lineup for Celtic were responsible for two goals in the first half.

In the 17th minute of the first half, Daizen Maeda scored the opening 한국을 goal, and in the 40th minute of the first half, Kyogo Furuhashi scored an additional goal.

Then, in the 30th minute of the second half, Maeda assisted Callum McGregor's goal.

Celtic's Yang Hyun-jun was not even named on the substitutes' list for the first time this season.

Yang Hyun-jun was substituted in the 32nd minute of the second half of the first round of the league against Kilmarnock this season, in the 36th minute of the second half of the second round against Hibernian, and in the 27th minute of the second half of the second round of the League Cup against Hibernian.

However, in the 3rd round of the league against St. Mirren on the 25th of last month, he was included in the substitute list but was never called up, and on this day, he was completely left off the list, revealing an unstable position within the team.
