Kasper Hogh repaid a fair chunk of his £11 million summer transfer fee with a clinical hat-trick in Celtic's 5-1 demolition victory over Kilmarnock on Sunday.
Victory for the Hoops means they have kick-started the defence of their league crown with maximum spoils from each of their opening two matches following a hard fought 1-0 win over Dundee on the opening weekend.
Whilst Hogh didn't manage to get himself on the scoresheet at Celtic Park on that occasion, he played an instrumental role in his side's fortunes at Rugby Park.
A three-goal salvo inside the first 33 minutes helped endear himself into the hearts of the Bhoys folk and also helped establish him as the new 7/2 favourite for the top goalscorer gong in the Scottish top-flight, ousting Rangers ace Lawrence Shankland at the top of the betting.
The former Bodo/Glimt man arrived at Celtic to much fanfare earlier in the summer after playing a pivotal role in the fortunes of the Norwegian side in the UEFA Champions League last term.
He scored five times as well as assisting three more as the Scandinavian minnows defied their gargantuan odds to reach the last 16 of Europe's showpiece competition.
As well as that, he netted 41 times in 77 appearances for his former club in the Norwegian top-flight, enjoying his most productive term in 2025 - where he scored 17 times in 28 outings.
A brace against Manchester City and goals in wins against Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan alerted more suitors in the transfer market, but it was Celtic who won the race for his signature, becoming their club record acquisition to replace the recently departed Daizen Maeda.
