Bodo/Glimt's Hogh to have Celtic medical within 24 hours
Kasper Hogh has four caps for Denmark [Getty Images] Bodo/Glimt striker Kasper Hogh is due to have a medical with Celtic in the next 24 hours, says manager Martin O'Neill. The 25-year-old Denmark international has been linked with the Scottish champions for a number of months and reports claim they have agreed a club record £11m with his Norwegian team. O'Neill was questioned about the progress of the deal after Saturday's 2-2 draw with AC Milan in a pre-season friendly at Celtic Park. "Yes, I'm hoping that that will happen," he said. "I think there's a good chance of it. "But, until someone's actually signed and sealed, there might be things still up in the air, but it's certainly progressing."

Asked about the suggestion that Hogh was about to have a medical, O'Neill continued: "Yes, apparently so. He will have one in the next 24 hours, I think." News of Hogh's imminent arrival will ease some of the pressure on Celtic's board and manager after Saturday's sale of fan favourite Daizen Maeda, with the Japan forward being sold to Ipswich Town . Meanwhile, Celtic have made just one signing this summer, albeit Colombian forward Camilo Duran has scored three goals in three warm-up games so far. Celtic have also been strongly linked with Paderborn midfielder Mika Baur. Asked if signing the 22-year-old German is also a possibility, O'Neill added: "That, I genuinely can't tell you. I genuinely cannot tell you at this minute. "I've been preparing for this game. I'll see where we are tomorrow and things. "We've got a few other things in the pipeline that might come to fruition, which would be great for us."
