Celtic secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Dundee at Celtic Park on Monday, but the performance of new signing Kasper Hogh left fans frustrated. The Danish striker, signed for £11million from Bodo/Glimt, struggled to make an impact despite his impressive Champions League record last season. League standing: 5th in Premiership, 3 pts, 1W-0D-0L from 1 games, recent form W.
What happened in the match?
Benjamin Nygren scored the only goal of the game, but Dundee had several chances to equalize. Hogh, who scored 17 goals and provided eight assists in 2025, had four off-target shots, including one that went into the side-netting. His debut statistics were concerning: zero shots on target, 38% pass completion, and one missed big chance.
Why are fans concerned?
Footage of Hogh's missed chances went viral, with fans expressing their disappointment. Some compared the situation to previous signings who failed to adapt quickly, suggesting that Celtic may have been "Adam Idah'd again." The striker admitted he needs more shooting practice, and his adaptation to the Scottish Premiership will be crucial.
What comes next for Hogh?
Despite the criticism, Hogh showed promise in his positioning, taking eight touches in the opposition box. Celtic's next fixture is against Motherwell at home on 2026-12-26, where Hogh will have another opportunity to prove himself. Currently sidelined: Jota.
