South Korea boss Hong Myung-bo has praised Celtic ace Yang Hyun-jun after handing him an international recall.
The Hoops ace is back in the fold following a 13-month exile from his country for their World Cup double-header against Jordan and Oman.
Two wins will book their place in next year's World Cup Finals in USA, Canada and Mexico and Hong revealed he has been impressed with the 22-year-old Hoops ace's recent upturn in form.

He said: "I went to Scotland to visit Yang in January and at the time, his playing time was short, and I could tell that there were difficulties within the team.
"Since that meeting, he has shown many good performances with Celtic.
"He has made a major impact in games even when he was only playing in them for a short period of time.
"I believe young Korean players should be the mainstay of our team moving forward."
