Really Kirrard?

South Korean starlet Ki Sung Yong will jet into No Mean City on Saturday to seal his deal or as the more cynical of us think to add a few thousand onto the gate in the hope he comes out at half time for a wee wave and hello.

His exclusive interview is one of those interviews that either makes you want to laugh, cry, cry expletives in bemusement or rush out and buy a South Korean top and feel the warm glow that you have someone to support at next years World Cup.

The Young Asian Player Of The Year waxed lyrical about A lot of foreigners say that they grew up watching Celtic - but I genuinely did, he says I loved Henrik Larsson, he was a brilliant player for Celtic.

The youngster, whose idol is Steven Gerrard and the on the ball Korean press prove they have a sense of humour by calling him Kirrard, also gushes They also have an incredible history and almost everyone knows who they are and that To come to a club like Celtic is just a dream come true because they are HUGE in Asia.

While must youngsters dreamed of being on Pop Idol or something our Sung Yung says When the games are on TV and you're watching them as a kid, you never think that one day you'll end up playing for them.

You would have almost have thought that a South Korean Celtic fan that went to John Paul College was creation of the under pressure PLC.

Update: According to site lurker Pujol Ki Sung Yung is Korean for Our Day Will Come. I'm off to Sports Soccer...
