O’Neill has backed the Dane and said he expects him to deliver despite the slow start. Speaking to Sky Sports, the Celtic boss said: “At the end of the season, I expect Kasper Hogh to score 20 goals.”

“He has lost a bit of confidence; we will get that back during the course of time.”

“We have game after game after game between now and January, but he will score goals for us; there is no question about it, and it is just a matter of tinkering around, but that’s the nature of the business.”
