The great thing about the international break is that the Celtic fans get to see their players play against, and beside, some of the best players in the world.
And there is no doubt that Tottenham striker, Son Heung-Min, is one of the top players in world football right now.
Son had been in devastating form for Spurs this season scoring eight goals as the Ange Postecoglou revolution takes place in north London.
For South Korea, the 31-year-old has netted 38 times on over 100 appearances for his country. So when you want advice as a young striker or just a kind word in your ear, who best to turn to?
And that is exactly what Celtic striker, Hyeongyu Oh, got when the final whistle went on South Korea’s 5-0 win over Singapore last week.
Making his sixth appearance as a second-half sub, Oh failed to find the back of the net once more in the twenty minutes he was on the pitch. Recognising his disappointment, Son had some kind words to say to the Celtic striker.
Son Heung-Min’s touch of class for the Celtic striker
Son said [SPOTV News], “(Oh) Hyeon-gyu, you shouldn’t be disappointed. You’ll learn from it.
“There are many more important matches to come.”

What a great touch by the Spurs captain as he uses his experience to help encourage a young Celtic player who is really trying to make his mark at club and country level.
Oh has started to find his scoring touch for Celtic recently but with each passing game that he plays without scoring for Korea, frustration can set in and confidence can drop.
There is little chance of that now for the 22-year-old Celtic striker. With Son’s words in his head, Oh knows that his time will come. After all, he is learning and being advised by one of the best strikers in the business.
