Overview
- Celtic announced on Tuesday that they have signed Kasper Høgh from Bodø/Glimt for about £11 million plus add-ons and given him a four-year contract with an option for a further year.
- Høgh arrives with strong European form, having scored roughly 53 goals in about 102 games for Bodø/Glimt and five Champions League goals in 2025–26, and he said he is "so happy" and wants to be "thrown into the fire."
- He is Celtic’s second summer signing after Camilo Durán and his arrival follows the sale of Daizen Maeda to Ipswich, a sequence that the club has used to retool its forward line ahead of imminent competitive games.
- Journalist reports say Celtic plan to restart talks for Real Oviedo winger Haissem Hassan now the Høgh deal is complete, while the club remains linked to other attacking targets as it balances immediate needs with budget and squad fit.
- Pundits praise Høgh’s goalscoring pedigree but note integration risk in Scottish football and differing valuations of the fee, so the key near-term questions are how quickly Høgh adapts and how further signings change Celtic’s tactical shape for the new season.
