However, his Champions League knockout goals against Manchester City, Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan and Sporting now appear to have elevated him into the next bracket of clubs when it comes to his potential next destination.

Hogh has never played outside Scandinavia so far in his career, but that could soon change given the way that he has proven himself in the Champions League of late. It remains to be seen whether Hogh could potentially come in as his replacement, but it has already become clear that Celtic will find it very hard to sign him if they do not secure Champions League football.
