Kasper Hogh says he had to trust his gut when committing to a Celtic move.A record signing for the club, the 25-year-old arrives with the pedigree of an elite-level striker, having scored 54 goals in 103 games for Norwegians Bodo/Glimt, five of which were in last season’s Champions League.Many fans had wanted the club to make a move for Hogh for some time, and Hogh admits he had to go with his intuition before penning a four-year deal.The Denmark international, who is set for a debut in Monday’s Premiership opener at home to Dundee, said: “It feels amazing. I just saw the pitch and it looks amazing. I got goosebumps.”When I heard about the interest from Celtic, I was happy. It’s about the gut feeling and the feeling here was good, so I’m happy I ended up here.”I just try to take one day at a time and I will do my best and enjoy every day.”I’ve had a talk with the gaffer and I’ve met all the boys so it feels like it’s a good match. I’m also looking forward to meeting the fans.”They will get a happy boy who likes to play football, work for the team and goals and be in the box.”In last season’s Champions League, Hogh grabbed a double in a 3-1 win over Manchester City and the following week netted again in a 2-1 victory at Atletico Madrid.He will be tasked with firing Celtic back to the top level of European competition, with the club set to learn their play-off opponents on Monday.”It was an amazing journey we had with Bodo/Glimt, I had good team-mates also,” Hogh added.”This is a big club Celtic, we have to qualify first [for Champions League], I take it one day at a time but you are allowed to dream of course.”
