Seoul - South Korean midfielder Ki Sung Yong said Wednesday he hoped to shine at Celtic after signing a four-year deal with the Scottish club. Ki, 20, who is expected to be in South Korea's World Cup squad, pledged to "give it my best" to become a top player at Celtic.
"Celtic is one of the biggest and best clubs in the world and I know that playing for Celtic will make me a better player when I play for South Korea in the World Cup," Ki said at Incheon airport before his departure for Glasgow.
Ki, who signed with Celtic on Monday, said he was a little short of match fitness as his side, FC Seoul, completed their season a few weeks ago.
"I would say I am about 70 per cent of my full fitness. I expect it would take at least one or two weeks to be fully fit for matches," he said.
Ki is set to raise the profile of Celtic in South Korea. Around 14 South Korean fans avidly follow the fortunes of star players such as Manchester United Park Ji Sung and Bolton's Lee Chung Yong.
