Celtic's Transfer Hunt for Kasper Hogh Reignites Amid Parkhead Return Speculation
Celtic's transfer hunt for Kasper Hogh has reignited, with the Scottish Premiership club seeking to bolster their strike force. The Hoops are back in the hunt for the Danish striker after being snubbed by title hero Kelechi Iheanacho.
Why it Matters for Queen's Park
Celtic's pursuit of Hogh comes as the club continues to search for frontline reinforcements. The Hoops have been linked with several strikers, including Hogh and Kyogo Furuhashi, who has been told he's not part of Chris Davies' plans for the new season.
What Comes Next?
Celtic boss Martin O'Neill has added hitman Camilo Duran to the squad, but the club chiefs have come under fire for the lack of activity. The Hoops are set to face AC Milan in their final bounce game before the Premiership campaign kicks off next weekend.
As of 20 Jul 2026, Celtic sit 6th in the Scottish Championship with 41 points from 36 games, a 36-point gap behind leaders ST Johnstone. The Hoops have scored 35 goals and conceded 48, with a recent form of DLDLW.
In a recent friendly clash with Middlesbrough, Queen's Park drew 1-1, with Camilo Duran scoring in the match. The Hoops' squad has been impressed with Duran's performance, with Colby Donovan hoping for similar quality with any further additions.
Transfer Update
Celtic are also in the hunt for Egypt World Cup star Haissem Hassan, who has a €12m release clause at Real Oviedo. However, Marseille are also in the running for the wide man.
The Hoops' pursuit of Hogh has been scuppered in the past due to Bodo/Glimt's Champions League exploits. However, the Norwegians are now looking to cash in on their frontman, with a fee of north of £7m being touted.
Kyogo has suffered a miserable time since leaving Parkhead in January 2025, with a failed move to Rennes followed by a stuttering spell in England. The 31-year-old has his heart set on a second stint with Celts, but would need to cut a deal with Birmingham City, who are willing to let him go.
What's Next for Celtic?
Celtic's transfer hunt for Kasper Hogh has reignited, with the club seeking to bolster their strike force. The Hoops are in a fierce battle for the Danish striker, with several clubs vying for his signature. As the transfer window nears its close, one thing is certain – Celtic will stop at nothing to strengthen their squad.
