Kasper Hogh is enjoying the run of his life right now. His brace helped Bodo/Glimt to a 3-1 win over Manchester City in the previous Champions League gameweek. Now, the Norwegian striker has followed that up by scoring the winner against Atletico Madrid away in Spain to book Kjetil Knutsen's side's place in the knockout phase of the competition. What will that mean for Celtic, who want to sign him this winter?
Norwich City are already believed to have made an €8 million offer to sign Hogh. Celtic are said to have made an enquiry as well, as have other teams across Europe.
But things might have changed after Bodo/Glimt's win over Atletico Madrid. As reported by Anthony Joseph, Hogh was due to assess his future later this week, after last night's match. But the Norwegian club are in a Champions League knockout phase place, which could affect a possible move.
To be very honest, it is hard to see Celtic signing Hogh from here. It is much more likely that Bodo/Glimt will decide to keep him now, and try to make an impact in the knockout phase of the competition. Nobody will make the mistake of counting them out after recent wins over Man City and Atletico Madrid, as well as a draw against Borussia Dortmund.

Someone like Hogh could have been a pretty good signing for Celtic. That move is starting to feel unlikely now though.
Celtic do not have much time left to make signings this winter. So, they cannot afford to dwell on things for long. They should move their sights towards other potential targets.
Let's see what the future holds for the club. Considering how bad their recruitment has been in recent times, it is hard to imagine that they will pull off too many moves quickly.
