What happened?
Celtic's summer signings of Kasper Høgh and Camilo Duran have brought a much-needed boost to the team's chances of success in the Premiership. The Danish striker and Colombian forward have already made a significant impact, scoring 15 goals in Europe and 7 in the Champions League.
Why it matters for Celtic
The Hoops still face significant challenges in filling the gaps left by departed players, with over 10 of last season's squad having departed. However, with Høgh and Duran on board, the team is now better equipped to compete with the likes of Rangers and Heart of Midlothian.
What comes next?
Celtic's next fixture is against Motherwell at home on December 26, and the team will be looking to build on their recent form. With Høgh and Duran leading the charge, the Hoops are confident of a positive result.
Goals and records
Celtic has scored 59 goals this season, with 35 conceded, resulting in a +24 goal difference. The team is currently 3 points behind leaders Heart of Midlothian in the title race.
Injuries and suspensions
Benjamin Nygren is currently sidelined due to injury, but the team is expected to make a move to sign him before the transfer window closes.
Quotes
"The Celtic board may well be patting themselves on the back after signing Kasper Høgh," said Charles Maxwell. "It looks to me like they took the money for Daizen Maeda and bought a replacement for Adam Idah. Celtic are running at a substantial 'net skills loss' compared to the last few years."
