What Martin O'Neill told Kasper Hogh about Celtic goal drought after Besiktas
O'Neill said the striker’s hold-up play can help Celtic while Camilo Duran’s two goals eased pressure after the 3-2 Europa League win.
- On Thursday, Celtic secured a 3-2 Europa League victory against Besiktas, though record signing Kasper Hogh extended his goal drought to 15 matches. Manager Martin O'Neill insisted he remains unconcerned about the Dane's performance.
- Since scoring a hat-trick against Kilmarnock on August 9, Hogh has struggled following his £11 million move from Bodo/Glimt. He was substituted in the 77th minute Thursday, receiving a standing ovation from fans O'Neill claims 'are still behind' the striker.
- Substitute Camilo Duran scored a late brace to reach 13 goals this season, proving decisive after replacing Hogh. O'Neill praised the Colombian, noting "at this minute, he is on fire," while emphasizing Hogh's role holding up play.
- The dramatic 3-2 win keeps Celtic's European campaign alive with three points at the midway stage. O'Neill described the victory as "really pleasing and really important," noting defensive strength limited the Turkish side's opportunities.
- Celtic now shifts focus to Sunday's domestic match against Kilmarnock, with O'Neill stressing the need to build on European momentum. Upcoming fixtures against St Mirren and Torreense remain critical to the club's progress in the coming weeks.
