Former Celtic striker Oh Hyeon-Gyu has revealed he left Parkhead for Genk because he was forced out of the picture when they bought Adam Idah.
The South Korean international mobed to Belgian football this summer for a fee of around £2.5 million with Celtic recouping what they paid for him in January last year.
Oh grabbed his first goals for Genk last month and scored three goals in two games after impressing for his new club.
But he admitted he still felt deflated at his Hoops exit.
Oh said: "I had lost my place in my national team because I was no longer playing for Celtic.
"It was then I knew I had to get a transfer.
"Now I am in a good place here.
"I scored 12 goals in total for Celtic, but I hardly played in the last six months.
"They had brought in a new striker, someone with a different profile - a big, strong boy - and they had to find a solution for me.
"I thought that was a shame at first because I really loved Celtic. It's a great club.
"But when Genk came calling, I didn't hesitate.
"I had a few options in the English Championship, but I just wanted to come here.
"When you see all the players who came through here - Kevin De Bruyne, Thibaut Courtois, Leandro Trossard and more. That's impressive, isn't it?"
