Signing Duran and Hogh for 16m is sensational transfer business from CelticCamilo Duran, and now Kasper Hogh Thats two Champions League proven strikers for 16 million. That is a sensational transfer business from CelticCeltic have agreed to sign Danish international striker Kasper Hogh from Bodo/Glimt in a club record 11 million plus deal, much to the delight of the supporters. The player will be having his medical today ahead of an unveiling tomorrow at Celtic Park.Daizen Maeda OUT, Kasper Hogh INCeltic Shorts been calling for Celtic to make a move for the Danish striker for months and credit where it is due, Celtic delivered on that yesterday, with the news breaking shortly after Daizen Maedas transfer to Ipswich Town was confirmed.Kasper Hogh will join a forward line boosted by recent signing Camilo Duran, meaning 16 million has been invested in our attacking area, although we have lost the talented Daizen Maeda who signed for Ipswich in a 10 million deal, having previously lost Kyogo to Rennes 18 previously for the same sum as Daizens sale brought in.Celtic now have two Champions League proven strikersThe upside is that we have brought aboard two quality strikers, and more importantly both of whom are proven at the highest level in the Champions League.Camilo Duran sprang to prominence in last years Champions League group stages, scoring five goals for Azerbaijan side Qarabag, with his strikes arriving against Newcastle United, Ajax, Eintracht Frankfurt, and Benfica, impressing with his overall game, and not just his goalscoring ability. His pressing game is almost as good as Daizens so that is going to be a huge attribute especially in European football.Kasper Hogh of Bodo/Glimt celebrates 3-0 during the UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Round of 16 First Leg match between FK Bodo/Glimt and Sporting Clube de Portugal at Aspmyra Stadium on March 11, 2026 in Bodo, Norway. (Photo by Martin Ole Wold/Getty Images)Hoghs record in European competitions is exceptionalKasper Hogh had already proven his credentials on the European stage, scoring seven goals as Bodo/Glimt reached the semi-finals of the Europa league in the 2024/25 campaign.Then our new Great Dane proved his credentials in European footballs premier competition, the Champions League last year when he notched goals against the likes of Inter Milan, Manchester City, and Atletico Madrid.Overall the two men have scored a combined 34 goals, and registering 21 assists last campaign. Impressive stats that will add to our rather weak and depleted forward line.Camilo Duran already has the positive shades of Daizen MaedaWatching Duran over pre-season, he looks like a player who as already mentioned is similar in many ways to Daizen Maeda. He likes to press the opposition defence, but also displays a strikers instinct when the ball is played into the box, as he proved yet again against AC Milan in yesterdays warm-up clash at Celtic Park, which finished in a 2-2 draw.Both players can complement each other, and Id assume that Duran will occupy the Daizen Maeda role on the left side of the attack, whilst Hogh will fill the centre forward position. Martin ONeill confirmed after the match that he sees no reason why both cant play together so its not a case of Celtic signing two No.9s and rotating minutes between the pair.Camilo Duran of Celtic in action during the Celtic v AC Milan match in a pre-season friendly at Celtic Park on July 25, 2026.

That is all the Celtic support has ever asked then to do.Now dont stop here, get the midfielder, goalkeeper and left-back signings that have been worked on over the line this week and give Martin ONeill the best chance possible of delivering a successful season domestically while making an impact in the Champions League after getting through the play-off round which will probably be as tough as it always seems to be.Celtic manager Martin ONeill arrives at the ground ahead of kick off in the Celtic v AC Milan in a pre-season friendly at Celtic Park on July 25, 2026.
