Oh, who joined Celtic with high hopes and made a solid impression during his time at the club, admitted that the situation took a sharp turn when Idah was brought in. “I felt like I wasn’t given a fair shot once Idah arrived,” Oh stated. “Suddenly, I was sidelined, and it was clear that the club’s plans had shifted. I knew I had to make a move if I wanted to continue playing regular football.”
The striker also shared his disappointment at how things unfolded, adding that he had hoped to be part of the club’s long-term plans. “I gave everything for Celtic, and I really wanted to succeed here. But once the decision was made, I knew it was time to move on. It’s just unfortunate that I didn’t get the chance to prove myself more.”
Oh’s comments are sure to raise eyebrows among Celtic supporters, many of whom were surprised by his sudden departure. With Adam Idah now stepping into the spotlight, the pressure is on the new striker to deliver on the high expectations that come with being the club’s preferred choice.
