The striker is now a Bodo/Glimt legend but has to make a big decision on his immediate future
Ally McCoist
Ally McCoist reckons Celtic targets Kasper Hogh will snub a move away from Bodo/Glimt to live out his Champions League drawm.
Record Sport understands the Hoops have entered the chase for the £7million-rated frontman with the clock ticking down on the window. Norwich City have already seen a bid turfed out by the Norwegian side, but maintain an interest.
But Hogh made history with Bodo after scoring the winner against Atletico Madrid to earn his club a spot in the Champions League knockout phase. It follows the 25-year-old’s double against Manchester City on matchday seven to lead Bodo to a landmark victory.
Rangers’ legend McCoist doubts Celtic will be able to convince Hogh to join the club before the summer. He told TNT Sports: “Would the player want to go at this moment in time?
“I mean, he might want to go at the end of the season – which is no good for Celtic – but would you want to go after two great results? Especially Manchester City.”

Parkhead icon Scott Brown reckons that Martin O’Neill will be demand recruits in three key areas with the club battling in the league, Scottish Cup and Europa League playoff rounds. He told TNT Sports: “I’m sure Martin will still be looking at another striker, and another centre-half as well.
“Possibly a winger as well. Now they are in the next round, they have the league and a cup; there is a lot to play for this season.
“They need the fans, week in and week out. You can see the difference with the atmosphere (against Utrecht), they need the support.
“They need to help these lads out as much as they can from now until the end of the season.”
