Auston Trusty has backed Celtic new Bhoy Kasper Hogh to "come alive" in the Champions League.
The Hoops know getting past LASK in their playoff qualifier this week and next will be enough to take them into the League Phase where they will earn a hefty whack.
Danish frontman Hogh, 25, was signed to bring a fresh dynamic to the squad and perform both domestically and in Europe. He has already chipped in with a hattrick vs Kilmarnock and looked dangerous against Dundee United and Dundee.
Hogh stunned Europe last season with a brilliant goals return for Bodo/Glimt when he scored against Manchester City, Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan and Sporting CP as his former club made the last-16.

And Trusty believes Celtic's record signing can do the business for his new club, too, and the American is excited to see him in action when the big games come around.
"Is Kasper going to come alive in the Champions League? Yeah, I think so. Last year you saw him make a name for himself there. He has come in and done really well.
“Off the pitch he’s a good character, so he’s seamlessly come into the group.
“He’s a good vibe and a good guy. Obviously on the pitch too he’s done really well, he scored three goals in the previous game and that was good for his confidence. Getting goals and the Celtic fans all hyping him up, it’s good especially for a forward because you kind of need that ego boost no matter what.
“Holding the ball up is pretty crucial to the way we play, building up from the back.
“We have an outlet pass and as a defender that gives you more options.
“He’ll be good in the Champions League.”
