Celtic are close to signing Bodo/Glimt striker Kasper Hogh, with manager Martin O’Neill saying the Denmark international is expected to undergo a medical within 24 hours. The potential move would strengthen Celtic’s attack following Daizen Maeda’s sale to Ipswich Town and may ease pressure on the club after a quiet transfer window.

Hogh, 25, has been linked with Celtic for several months, and reports say the Scottish champions have agreed a club-record £11m fee with Bodo/Glimt. O’Neill stressed that the deal is not complete until it is signed, while noting Celtic have made only one summer signing so far: Colombian forward Camilo Duran, who has scored three goals in three pre-season matches.
