Martin O’Neill considers benching Kasper Hogh for Premier Sports Cup match

Celtic manager Martin O’Neill is weighing lineup changes ahead of today's Premier Sports Cup quarter-final at Ibrox. Kasper Hogh, the club's 25-year-old record signing, may be moved to the bench as the coaching staff rotates the squad for a stretch of three games across different competitions. O’Neill cited the heavy workload the striker carried in the Norwegian league prior to his summer move to Glasgow as a factor in his current availability. While Hogh previously recorded a hat-trick against Kilmarnock, he has also managed recent recovery from a knock sustained in a match against LASK. O'Neill indicated that he expects the Danish international to play a significant role for the club following the upcoming international break. The team must also determine its starting goalkeeper and potential midfield adjustments for the fixture.
