Celtic Boss Backs Slumping 25-Year-Old Striker: Can He Reach 20 Goals?
Story updated
The story in brief
26-second readCeltic manager O'Neill backs slumping striker Kasper Hogh, expecting him to score 20 goals this season, according to The 4th Official. Hogh has struggled since his arrival from Bodo/Glimt in the summer.
O'Neill attributes Hogh's current slump to lost confidence, which he believes will return with time and game experience. He notes that there are many games left until January, allowing for adjustments.
Hogh's next chance to prove himself is against Hearts at Celtic Park on Sunday, where a home crowd and the challenge of breaking down a deep block may help him regain his form.

Source context
Thursday night in Lisbon was cruel. Celtic were 2-0 down at Benfica, a chance dropped invitingly in the box, and their record signing had the goal begging. Nobody in the away end said much, yet everybody thought the same thing. By half-time he was gone. Camilo Duran slid back into his favoured spot through the middle, and the message was loud enough. Kasper Hogh, 25, arrived from Bodo/Glimt in the summer as the biggest cheque we’ve ever written. So far, one game has brought him goals. That game was a hat-trick, mind, which makes the quiet spell sting even more.
