Celtic Agree Club-Record Kasper Hogh Deal

Celtic have agreed a club-record deal to sign Bodo/Glimt striker Kasper Hogh, according to the Daily Record. The Glasgow giants have been desperate to bolster their squad in the transfer window after winning a fifth consecutive Scottish Premiership title, with Martin O'Neill installed on a permanent contract with the task of rebuilding the side following a disappointing campaign.

Why it Matters for Celtic

The arrival of Hogh, alongside fellow summer signing Camilo Duran, ensures Celtic will have plenty of firepower heading into the new season as they look to defend their title. Celtic may have claimed the Scottish title in 2025/26, but nobody was happy about the way the season went down, and they are desperate to put it right.

What Comes Next?

The deal will eclipse the £11m Celtic splashed to sign Arne Engels two summers ago, breaking the club record and making the 25-year-old their most expensive signing ever. Hogh, who has been described as 'exceptional', was identified as Celtic's top forward target for the transfer window, and a deal worth £11m plus add-ons has now been agreed.

Celtic are currently 3 points behind leaders Heart Of Midlothian in the title race, but their recent form has been impressive, with 5 consecutive wins in all competitions. They will look to continue this momentum as they prepare for the new season, with their next fixture against Heart Of Midlothian on October 17th at Celtic Park.

Recent Form

Celtic have been in excellent form recently, with 5 consecutive wins in all competitions. They have scored 59 goals and conceded 35, with a +24 goal difference. Their recent form has been WWWWW, with their last result being a 3-1 win over Heart Of Midlothian on May 16th.

Transfer Activity

The deal was agreed at the same time Celtic confirmed the departure of Daizen Maeda to Ipswich Town in a £10m deal, which has clearly helped to fund the club's second signing of the summer. Hogh will undergo a medical in the coming days, and barring any last-minute hitches in the deal, he is expected to put pen to paper on a long-term deal at Celtic Park with the Scottish champions.
