Celtic are making progress on the Kasper Høgh file. Manager Martin O'Neill confirmed after the 2-2 friendly draw against AC Milan at Celtic Park that the Bodø/Glimt Danish striker is due for a medical "in the next 24 hours". The coach was cautious but optimistic about the outcome of the transfer.
“Yes, I hope that happens,” O’Neill said. “I think there’s a good chance.” But, until it's signed and sealed, there may still be some things up in the air, but it's certainly on track. » Asked more specifically about the medical examination, he added: “Yes, apparently yes. There will be one in the next 24 hours, I think. »
The British press is reporting an agreement between Celtic and Bodø/Glimt for a record sum for the Glasgow club, estimated at £11 million. This information was not officially confirmed by the parties at the time of O'Neill's statements.
Høgh's imminent arrival should also ease pressure on Celtic's board and management following Saturday's sale of popular Daizen Maeda to Ipswich Town. The club has, for the moment, formalized only one signing this summer: the Colombian Camilo Durán, author of three goals during preparation matches. Celtic have also been linked with German midfielder Mika Baur; On this issue too O'Neill was evasive: “I really can't tell you that. I can't tell you at this moment. I was preparing for this match. I'll see where we are tomorrow and so on. We have other things in the works that could come to fruition, which would be great for us. »

Høgh's career and recent form
Kasper Høgh's sporting profile explains the interest: trained in Randers, his career was progressive. After a spell at second division Hobro and a loan in Iceland to Valur, he joined the Danish elite with AaB in January 2022, then Stabæk in Norway where his success (8 goals in 14 matches) led the club to exercise the purchase option. A pre-contract signed with a view to a transfer to Bodø/Glimt in January 2024 has propelled him to the forefront.
With Bodø/Glimt, Høgh was the club's top scorer with 12 goals during the team's national title, and distinguished himself in Europe: 7 goals in the UEFA Europa League (joint top scorer) as the club reached the semi-finals. In 2025 he finished as the club's top scorer with 17 goals, despite finishing second place, one point behind Viking. On the continental scene, he notably scored twice in a 3-1 Champions League victory against Manchester City and scored the following week in the 2-1 success at Atlético Madrid.
Internationally, Høgh was called up for the Danish national team for the first time in March: he made his debut as a substitute in a 4-0 win over North Macedonia, then headed in the equalizer in the World Cup play-off final against the Czech Republic, a match ultimately lost on penalties.
If the medical examination is confirmed and the transfer formalized, Celtic would strengthen its offensive sector with a player in full progress and accustomed to European games, at a time when the club seeks to replace the departure of Maeda and to increase its squad for the coming season.
The rest
After the planned medical examination, if Høgh's transfer goes through, Celtic will have to quickly integrate the player into their squad for the next matches. This could also influence the team's strategy for the coming season, particularly in view of European competitions. Fans are looking forward to seeing how Høgh adapts to Celtic's style of play and his potential impact on UEFA Europa League performances.
