The result clearly showed that Aberdeen is a team struggling to secure a spot in the European competitions this season. Yang's improvement season by season makes him an invaluable asset, a key member of the Celtic squad. He scores goals, provides assists, and does the essential work defensively.

Yang's defensive capabilities and overall improvement could see him securing a spot in the starting eleven for both domestic and European matches.",
