Kasper Høgh Links Are Insulting To The Fans And Were Released To Brain-Wash The Support
Aodhán Ó Conchobhair Every transfer window has one.
A link that appears out of nowhere.
Gets supporters talking.
Creates headlines for a couple of days.
Then quietly disappears.
The latest is Bodø/Glimt striker Kasper Høgh.
The Timing Isn’t A Coincidence
The reports surfaced just as criticism around Celtic’s pre-season continues to grow.
A disappointing draw with Shelbourne.
A heavy defeat to Sporting Lisbon.
A flat atmosphere around the club.
And perhaps most importantly, a poor attendance for the Middlesbrough friendly.
Supporters are becoming increasingly frustrated.
Not because results matter in pre-season.
But because the squad still looks incomplete.
Instead of announcing a signing, we’re once again discussing interest.
Monitoring.
Watching.
Preparing.
It’s the same cycle we’ve seen too many times before.
On top of that, not securing deals with Iheanacho and Saracchi is equally embarassing.
Supporters Aren’t Stupid
The frustrating part isn’t even the player himself.
Kasper Høgh has enjoyed an impressive spell in Norway and has shown he knows where the goal is.
If Celtic genuinely believe they can get him then fantastic.
I’m just not buying links; we are getting a striker who was scoring doubles against Man City and Athletico Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals?
Supporters have become wise to these sorts of links.
Every summer seems to bring another list of “targets” while the weeks drift by.
Every week another story rather than another signing.
Read The Room
What supporters wanted after the Middlesbrough attendance wasn’t another rumour.
They wanted action.
The empty seats should have been a warning.
Not that fans don’t care.
Quite the opposite.
They’re tired of hearing about ambition instead of seeing it.
Of waiting until August for obvious positions to be strengthened.
And watching rivals add players while Celtic continue to “explore options”.
Briefing another transfer link doesn’t solve that.
If anything, it makes the frustration worse.
The Board Need To Start Delivering
No supporter expects every rumour to become a signing.
That’s football.
But there comes a point where actions have to replace headlines.
Martin O’Neill has spoken about changing Celtic’s style.
That requires players.
If Kasper Høgh is the man Celtic want, then go and get him.
If he isn’t, stop using transfer links to distract from the bigger issue.
Because supporters aren’t asking for another rumour.
They’re asking for evidence that the club shares the same ambition they do.
And right now, that evidence is becoming increasingly difficult to find.
