Cho Gue-sung insists he has no regrets about not signing for Celtic, as he prepares to seal a switch to Denmark with FC Midtjylland instead.
The South Korean striker will travel to Europe to sign for Midtjylland, who beat off competition from clubs in the English Championship to sign Cho.
Cho was a target for Celtic in the last transfer window, but the deal crumbled after a fee could not be agreed with his club Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors and he played his last match for them at the weekend and signed off with a goal.
The Hoops turned their attention instead to Oh Hyeon-gyu and splashed out £2.5 million to Suwon Bluewings to land him.
But Cho refuses to be bitter that his move to Celtic didn't happen.
He said: "I wanted to sign for a club that I could play games.
"I don't regret not signing for Celtic or Mainz. I've never had any regrets. I don't listen to what others say, so I tend to do what I want to do. I didn't ask other people for advice.
"I played about 12 games this season because of an injury at the beginning, but I feel like I'm ready now.
"Actually, if I had gone to Europe last winter, I would have struggled because of the injury.
"I got a lot of attention because I scored important goals for South Korea, but I don't think about that kind of responsibility. I'm just trying to challenge myself."
