Celtic rally behind Kasper Hogh as teammate promises one thing over £11m man

Hogh has now gone 16 games without a goal but teammate Scales believes his luck will turn soon.

Kasper Hogh's goal drought extended to 16 games without a goal after Celtic's 1-0 win over Kilmarnock on Sunday. The striker thought he had finally broken his duck when he netted after a sweeping Celtic move, but VAR ruled it out for a foul by Mika Baur on Greg Kiltie in the build-up. Hogh has now gone more than 1000 minutes without scoring, with his only goal this season coming in a hat-trick at Rugby Park.

Despite the frustration, Celtic supporters gave Hogh a warm reception when he was substituted, and he was awarded man of the match by the sponsors. Defender Liam Scales scored the eventual winner and praised his teammate's attitude and all-round play.

"He's been brilliant. He keeps doing the right things and eventually it will fall for him," Scales said. "He's a goalscorer and a good player. He's just been unlucky. But his attitude has been brilliant. If he keeps doing the right things it will work out for him."
