'Celtic fans are going to fall in love with him' - Hogh makes his mark
Kasper Hogh earns rave reviews after his first goals - and first hat-trick - for Celtic in Saturday's 5-1 thrashing of Kilmarnock.
Celtic fans are set to fall in love with young striker Kasper Hogh, who has already made a significant impact for the Scottish champions. The £11 million signing made his first two goals and a hat-trick in their 5-1 victory over Kilmarnock, showcasing his ability to score crucial goals. This marks the first time a Celtic forward has scored a hat-trick in the league since October 2022.
BBC pundit Pat Nevin praised Hogh's natural talent, stating that the defender has already seen evidence of a player who can fill the shoes of past Celtic strikers like Daizen Maeda and Kyogo Furuhashi. Nevin also highlighted Hogh's intelligent movement and link-up play, which contribute to his effectiveness on the field.
Tom English, BBC Scotland's chief sportswriter, echoed these sentiments, describing Hogh as a player who can tear up the league with his goalscoring ability. He believes Hogh is the most proven goalscorer Celtic has signed since Chris Sutton, and sees him as a potential six-yard-box striker who can capitalize on opportunities.
Hogh's impressive goal-scoring record in Norway, where he was Bodo/Glimt's top scorer in the last two seasons, further supports Celtic's decision to sign him. As he continues to make strides in the league and potentially progress in the Champions League, the club is optimistic that Hogh's arrival will help them achieve success both domestically and on the European stage.
