- 11:09 AMYahoo Sports — How did record signing Hogh fare on Celtic debut?
"After his first outing for Celtic, record signing Kasper Hogh joked that he needs some "shooting practice". The Denmark international played the full game as Martin O'Neill's side beat Dundee 1-0 at Parkhead to kick off their Premiership title defence. Having cost a reported £11m from Bodo/Glimt, Hogh will ultimately be judged on goals but he was unable to get off the mark at the first time of asking, although it is clearly too early to judge a player who only joined last week.
