🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Celtic’s Record Signing Kasper Høgh Under Fire as Goal Drought Drags On
Celtic, October 2026 — Pressure is mounting rapidly on Celtic’s £11m club-record signing Kasper Høgh, with the Danish striker now facing intense scrutiny after going nearly two months without finding the net . The 25-year-old made a spectacular start to his Hoops career, blasting a hat-trick on his home debut against Kilmarnock in August, but has failed to score in any competition since that day — a worrying run stretching past 10 matches .
Manager Martin O’Neill has publicly hinted at his growing frustration, acknowledging that while Høgh contributes to build-up play, his sharpness in front of goal has deserted him. “We create plenty, but we aren’t converting enough,” O’Neill admitted after another blank performance. Fans have grown increasingly vocal, with many questioning why the big-money frontman continues to start ahead of in-form Colombian Camilo Durán, who has seven goals this season and scored the opener in Sunday’s 2-0 win at Motherwell .
Reports suggest the club is already weighing up contingency plans, with January loan or permanent moves being discussed internally should the slump persist. Former Celtic forward Scott Sinclair warned: “When you arrive for that fee, expectations are sky-high. You have to handle the pressure — that’s what playing for a club like Celtic is all about” . Høgh still has four years on his contract, but with a crucial Europa League tie against Benfica looming and Rangers looming large in the title race, the Dane knows he has precious little time to rediscover his scoring touch — or risk becoming one of the most expensive flops in the club’s history.
