On 25 January 2023, Oh joined Scottish Premiership club Celtic for an undisclosed fee, reported to be in the region of £2.5 million, signing a five-year contract.[5][6] He was assigned the number 19 shirt.[7]
He made his debut on 29 January 2023, in a league game against Dundee United, replacing Kyogo Furuhashi in the 82nd minute of an eventual 2–0 win.[8] Then, he scored his first goal for the Bhoys on 11 February, in a 5–1 Scottish Cup win over St. Mirren.[9] Oh scored 11 goals during 36 league appearances including six starts, while usually playing as a substitute for main striker Furuhashi.[4] However, he did not get playing time for half a year after Adam Idah came to the team on a loan deal.[10]
