The Irishman was speaking in the wake of his side's come from behind win to sink St Mirren.
Brendan Rodgers admits he was thrilled for Oh Hyeon-gyu after the blistering back-up kept Celtic five clear in the Premiership.
“I’m really pleased for him. For the guys who aren’t playing so much, you always have to recognise and acknowledge their efforts, which I do. He looks after his body, his diet, everything is superb. He’s so professional, he looks at his training and he knows when asked upon he can come in and make an impact. And what an impact. It’s always difficult for the guys who are playing behind, but all they can do is maintain a strong mentality. That sort of second striker playing behind a top striker.
“Some of our players who’ve been regular and have been outstanding this season looked a wee bit leggy. “I was really just pleased with the quality of the winning goal. We saw that at Motherwell when we got that winner late on. With 80 odd minutes on the clock here, you can start to panic but we worked the ball really well. When you play for a club like this one, there’s no choice, you keep fighting and running and allow your quality to come through. That’s exactly what happened.
