Celtic's Hogh struggles with scoring in Champions League start
Summary

Celtic's Kasper Hogh has started his tenure with the club underwhelmingly, netting three goals in nine appearances. After joining from Bodo/Glimt for a club-record fee, Hogh scored all his goals in one match against Kilmarnock but has gone seven games without scoring since. Celtic is currently on a three-game losing streak, raising concerns about Hogh's integration into the team. Coach Martin O'Neill is still seeking the right formula to utilize Hogh alongside new signing Camilo Duran as they look to rebound in upcoming matches, starting with a trip to Motherwell.

It is fair to say Kasper Hogh has not had the start he or Celtic would have wanted after the club spent a club-record fee to sign the Denmark striker from Bodo/Glimt. Having bagged 53 goals in 102 appearances for his previous team, a handful of which came in the Champions League against top-level opposition, the 25-year-old arrived to fanfare following the signing of fellow big-money capture Camilo Duran. Now, with Martin O'Neill's men on a three-game losing run, serious questions are starting to be asked after Hogh's underwhelming introduction.
