Celtic receive fresh Kasper Hogh backing as £11m striker faces pressure

Celtic striker Kasper Hogh has received strong backing from former teammate Albert Gronbaek amid a prolonged goal drought. The club-record signing has scored in only one match this season, finding the net against Kilmarnock on the second matchday. Gronbaek told Ekstra Bladet that Hogh is mentally tough, talented, and capable of converting his current difficulties into positive form once he scores again.

Hogh has faced added pressure due to the strong performances of Camilo Duran, who plays best in Hogh's central forward role. Teammate Liam Scales also publicly supported the Denmark international after a recent improved performance, while manager Martin O'Neill previously noted that Hogh and Duran should be capable of playing together in the attack.
