Celtic recorded a commanding 7-1 victory over Hearts in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday, following a disheartening Europa League loss to Benfica. The dynamic front three of Camilo Duran, Callum Osmand, and Haissem Hassan proved crucial to the win, while record signing Kasper Hogh started on the bench. Hogh, who has struggled to secure his place in the squad, did contribute as a substitute, assisting a goal. As Celtic prepares for an upcoming match against Celta Vigo on Thursday, discussions continue around whether Hogh is a necessary part of the team's best lineup.
