The Story in 60 Seconds

Former Celtic goalkeeper Pat Bonner stated that manager Martin O'Neill must keep playing Kasper Høgh to rebuild the Danish striker's confidence. Høgh returned to the starting lineup against Hibernian after struggling following a groin injury. Bonner argued on BBC Sport that Celtic's significant financial investment in the £11m forward requires the club to provide him with better service inside the penalty area to reignite his goal-scoring form.

To accommodate Høgh in the starting lineup at Easter Road, O'Neill shifted Camilo Durán to the right wing, while Callum Osmand remained on the left and Haissem Hassan moved to the bench. Høgh's only three goals for Celtic came via a hat-trick against Kilmarnock in August.
