Anthony Joseph is expecting Celtic to make a move for Kasper Hogh.
Celtic were again linked with the Bodo Glimt striker at the weekend as Martin O’Neill searches for goals.
Towards the end of the January transfer window Celtic were linked with Hogh- just as he went on a Champions League scoring spree.
Hogh scored against Manchester City and Atletico Madrid as Bodo gate-crashed the Round of 16 Play Off.
Celtic ended up with Tomas Cvancara and Junior Adamu signing on loan.
Hogh went on to score home and away against Inter Milan but the Bodo fairy-tale ended away to Sporting Lisbon.
He’s a target, yes. Expecting Celtic to make a move at some point.

With Daizen Maeda about to join Kelechi Iheanacho in departing Celtic the hoops badly need goals.
Camilo Duran has had a promising start to his Celtic career, scoring two goals.
HOGH THE IN-DEMAND CHAMPIONS LEAGUE STRIKER
Bringing in a 25-year-old striker from Norway would bring an instant focus to the Celtic side but is unlikely to come cheaply.
A fee of around £7m was quoted for Hogh in January but with seven goals and seven assists for Bodo in 12 matches this season he seems a known quantity.
Bodo enter the Champions League qualifiers in the Third Round on August 4.
Selling Hogh ahead of those matches would be a massive gamble for the Norwegian side with the ideal business model.
It would take a massive offer for Hogh to be a Celtic player for the Play Off matches on August 18/19 and 25/26.
An interesting development last night was Hogh being left on the bench as Bodo beat HamKam 3-0.
The Champions League does bring huge rewards but past experiences suggest that Celtic won’t be spending big without the guarantee of a place in the group stage of the Champions League.
Celtic do appear to be involved in negotiations to sign Mika Baur from Poderborn, newly promoted to the Bundesliga.
With Christian Nerlinger, the agent for Nicolas Kuhn, also acting for Baur Celtic are negotiating with a known quantity.
It seems unlikely that there will be any new signings involved in Saturday’s friendly against AC Milan.

Any decent signing is good news but at the snail pace it takes to do a deal we’ll probably be out of the champions league by then. So I think you’re forfeit Joe is save for Monday nights trinity tims such a shame I was looking forward to you pouring a glass of water over your head just to cheer us up from another abysmal transfer window.
“Expecting Celtic to make a move at some point.”
Yeah probably after he has been transferred to some championship team because its not as if we are in a hurry to strengthen the team now is it ??
Make a move at some point?
Well we all know the point the move happens….when he’s pissed off somewhere else of course.
This isny me thinking of making a move on a decent bike I’ve seen on Vinted but waiting till ma pay goes in to see if I can afford it.
What the actual f is going on at Celtic?
If he’s wanted, get him!
