The Story in 60 Seconds

Celtic forward Høgh made a substitute appearance for Denmark during their 3-2 defeat against Norway in Oslo. Høgh entered the contest in the 82nd minute to replace Rasmus Højlund as Denmark searched for an equalizer following Erling Haaland's 74th-minute winner. Høgh did not record a goal or an assist during his brief time on the pitch, with his most notable moment being an offside call in stoppage time.

Norway built an early two-goal advantage through Oscar Bobb and Haaland before Mikkel Damsgaard and Højlund leveled the score for Denmark. Former Celtic defender Kristoffer Ajer played the full 90 minutes for Norway, who held on for victory despite David Møller Wolfe's late red card. Høgh gained senior international minutes before his return to Celtic manager Martin O'Neill.
