New striker Kasper Hogh hopes that he can bring Bodo/Glimt's "mentality" to Celtic, following his big-money move from the ambitious Norwegian club.
The Danish international signed a four-year deal with the Scottish champions, becoming the second signing of the summer, following Camilo Duran's earlier arrival in Glasgow.
Having led the line both in the Europa and Champions League for Kjetil Knutsen, scoring big goals in the process, Hogh is aiming to make a similar impact at Celtic. "It was amazing, the journey we had there with Bodo," he said at his first press conference.
"I played on a good team, with good teammates also, but I think you learn that it doesn’t matter who you play against, that you can match up against everybody, and if you have the loyalty and you work as a team, then you can accomplish a lot.

"First of all, we have to qualify [for the Champions League]. I take one day at a time, but you are allowed to dream."
On the reasoning behind his former team's continued success on the European stage, Hogh continued, "I think it is the mentality in Bodo.
"You can’t make that mentality in every place, and we knew that one-on-one, we are not the best, but we can work as a team, and when you are loyal to the plan, then you can stay in the game.
"I hope I can bring it to the team and to my teammates also, that we can have that feeling together, that we are happy together and we want to do our best for each other.
"I hope I can bring that."
