OH HYEON-GYU aims to fire his way OUT of Celtic in January.
The Hoops striker is desperate to be part of South Korea’s Asia Cup squad.
Oh scored twice in Wednesday’s 4-1 win over Hibs after being picked ahead of main man Kyogo Furuhashi.
Now he aims to stay in Brendan Rodgers’ side as he eyes a call-up which could see him miss vital Hoops games.
The tourney in Qatar runs from January 12 to February 10, with South Korea in a group with Bahrain, Jordan and Malaysia.
And Oh revealed: “In December I want to play as many games and score as many goals as I can. I want to contribute towards the team and also get to the Asia Cup.

“I was very happy to get the opportunity to be in the starting 11 and personally I was very happy to score two goals.
“I just tried not to be too lazy, to do what the manager told me, so it was important for me to play aggressively.
“I think I managed to do that. It’s important for me to take these opportunities when I am in the starting line-up.
“I don’t get that many opportunities to start but when they come I play like it’s my last game.

“I want to do what the manager asks and if I do my best, the goals tend to follow.
“I want to grasp these opportunities. Every training session feels like a competition but the manager and coaching staff all help me with lots of advice.”
The Premiership winter shutdown runs from January 2 to 20, meaning games will resume before the end of the Asia Cup.
Celts winger Yang Hyun-jun could also be called up by South Korea.
Marco Tilio is in contention to be picked for Australia while Kyogo and Daizen Maeda are in line to make the Japan squad.
Oh is now desperate to challenge Kyogo for a regular game at Celtic.
He added: “I know how much Kyogo’s contributed to this club. It’s an honour to play with him and I respect everything he does. I can learn from Kyogo.
“I look up to other players here and they all mention how hard the training is. I am experiencing it now and it helps me improve a lot, physically and mentally.
“My English is getting better too! I can speak to everyone but I need to keep it going!”

Oh’s opener against Hibs was at first given to Cameron Carter- Vickers. He laughed: “It was a very important touch! I don’t think anyone realised I’d touched it, none of the players believed me!
“Even the announcer said it was Cameron’s goal. I said, ‘No, no no!’.”
