Celtic have completed the club-record signing of striker Kasper Hogh from Bodo/Glimt for £11m plus add-ons.

The 25-year-old had been Celtic's No 1 centre-forward target this summer and has signed a four-year contract, with Celtic holding the option to extend the deal by a further year.

Celtic made an enquiry for Hogh in January but due to Bodo/Glimt's success in the Champions League he decided to stay on for that run to the last 16, scoring in a famous win at Atletico Madrid that month.

Hogh scored 53 goals in 102 appearances for Bodo/Glimt.
