-He has the potential to become a cult figure. He already occupies a lot on social media, and fans love him. They really buy into his personality. If you look at some of the great strikers in Celtic’s history, Henrik Larsson or Kyogo Furuhashi, they weren’t just goalscorers – they were also big personalities. That is also a big reason why we remember them,” the journalist continues.
“Kasper Høgh will also become a cult figure if he continues to score goals in the green and white jersey. Celtic have needed a reliable striker and it looks like they have found one. He’s a big smile, and you just have to like that. There are many football players who take their job very seriously, but I think Kasper Høgh really likes and feels privileged to play football. He loves his job, and it shines through. Even if he misses a few chances, he will come back,” Josh McCafferty concluded.
