The Danish striker becomes one of the biggest signings in the club’s history after putting pen to paper on a four-year contract, with Celtic also holding the option to extend his stay by a further 12 months.

Having earned widespread acclaim for his goalscoring exploits during Bodo/Glimt’s runs to the Europa League semi-finals and the Champions League last 16, Høgh has now spoken publicly for the first time since sealing his move to Glasgow.

Speaking to the club’s YouTube channel, he said: “I’m so happy. When I came into the room and saw the shirt, I was really excited.

“The history of the club is so big. Second, my favourite colour is green, so that’s a good match!

“I spoke with some people and with my family about the club. The feeling they had, and the feeling I had in my stomach, was that this was a really good match.

“I like to be in the box and score goals, but I also want to help my team-mates defensively and work hard for the team.

“I have heard [the atmosphere] is so crazy. The club I played in before, Bodo, they said it was a crazy atmosphere there.

“So I’m just looking forward to play in front of the fans. I talked a lot about it with my old club, that the atmosphere is so crazy.

“I’ve trained throughout the summer and I’ve already played league games in Norway, so I feel ready. I just want to get started and be thrown into the fire.

“I just hope I can come on the pitch so I can show the rest with my feet. The feeling I have is very good, so I just want to get started and thrown into the fire.

“I just want to say a big thank you for all the messages and welcomes already, and I’m just happy to see all you guys and I want to get started.”
