Kasper Hogh says he had to trust his gut when committing to a Celtic move. A record signing for the club, the 25-year-old arrives with the pedigree of an elite-level striker, having scored 54 goals in 103 games for Norwegians Bodo/Glimt, five of which were in last season's Champions League. Many fans had wanted the club to make a move for Hogh for some time, and Hogh admits he had to go with his intuition before penning a four-year deal.

Former Celtic midfielder Paul Hartley thinks the Scottish champions splashing out a club-record fee on Kasper Hogh could prove to be a bargain. The 25-year-old Denmark striker, who fired in a goal every other game for Bodo/Glimt, has signed a four-year contract with Martin O'Neill's side. Hartley has also tipped him as an early favourtie to finish as the top scorer in the Scottish Premiership given his previous pedigree for big goals.

Celtic have announced the arrival of striker Kasper Hogh and confirmed they have paid a "club record transfer" for the Denmark international. Reports suggest the Glasgow club have paid £11m plus add-ons for the Bodo/Glimt forward, who scored five goals in last season's Champions League. Before Hogh, it was Arne Engels.
