Mulgrew: Hogh's Confidence Shattered by Form Slump
27 Oct
Summary
- Former player Charlie Mulgrew believes Hogh's confidence is completely gone.
- Hogh's form has been poor since his August hat-trick at Rugby Park.
- Manager O'Neill expects Hogh to score 20 goals despite current struggles.
Former Celtic player Charlie Mulgrew has expressed serious concern over Kasper Hogh's current form, stating the striker's confidence has been "completely shot" since his hat-trick in August. Mulgrew suggested that Hogh, Celtic's record £11.5m signing, should be removed from the team for approximately a month to help him regain his morale.
Hogh has struggled to replicate his earlier success, with recent performances, including missed chances in the recent 2-1 victory against Hibernian on October 25th, highlighting his difficulties. Mulgrew drew on his own playing experience to empathize with Hogh's situation, describing the impact of lost confidence on a player's perception of the ball.
Despite Hogh's struggles, Celtic manager Martin O'Neill remains publicly confident, predicting the Denmark international will score 20 goals this season. Currently, Hogh has only three goals, while teammate Camilo Duran is on track to surpass 30 goals. O'Neill believes Hogh simply needs his next goal to ignite his season and boost his confidence levels.
