Martin O'Neill has opened up on Celtic's tactical plans this season, following the arrival of Kasper Hogh.
The club confirmed the big-money arrival of Bodo/Glimt attacker Hogh on Tuesday, who has joined alongside Camilo Duran, who made the move from Qarabag earlier this summer.

With a combined total of 11 Champions League goals between the two last season for their respective clubs, counting Hogh's goal in qualifying, along with five each in the league phase and beyond, O'Neill has spoken about the potential to play the pair up front. "There should be more than one way to play the game," he told Sky Sports.
We have been playing a 4-3-3, but we changed it in the last few minutes against Hearts on the final day. We will work on being flexible during the course of the season so that if we switch to a 4-4-2 for half an hour, it shouldn't be a problem for the team.

"The only way it is not a problem is if you practice it during the week."
On Hogh's arrival, O'Neill continued, "It is great news for the football club and for the fans. We want to improve our goalscoring, and he is the man to do it. I hope he will get help and that we are not just relying on him.
"Hopefully, the goals will be shared around, but if he is the main man, I hope he delivers."
