Former Rangers defender Alan Hutton has backed Celtic striker Kasper Hogh to overcome his recent struggles, insisting a top player is waiting to emerge despite a current dip in confidence. Speaking to OLBG, Hutton noted that Hogh initially impressed and worried him as a Rangers supporter following strong early displays, including an away match against Kilmarnock.
