Kasper Høgh Shines in Bodø/Glimt’s Victory Over Sporting CP
Kasper Høgh scored the third goal for Bodø/Glimt in their impressive 3-0 victory over Sporting CP during the UEFA Champions League round of 16 on March 12, 2026. This win marks a historic moment as Bodø/Glimt became the first Norwegian side to progress in the knockout stages of the Champions League.
The match showcased a strong performance from Bodø/Glimt, with goals also coming from Sondre Fet and Ole Blomberg. Høgh’s contribution not only solidified the team’s lead but also highlighted his growing reputation in European football.
In the 2025 Eliteserien season, Høgh had an outstanding performance, scoring 17 league goals and providing 5 assists. His ability to create opportunities was evident, as he created 19 chances and won 18 fouls throughout the season. These statistics have made him a sought-after player, with Celtic reportedly making an enquiry for him at the end of January 2026.
Frode Thomassen, a representative from Bodø/Glimt, praised Høgh, stating, “Kasper was the top scorer in the Europa League when we made a semi-final last spring but he is a really good footballer and a really good striker.” This endorsement reflects the high expectations surrounding Høgh’s future.
Despite the interest from Celtic, Thomassen indicated that the club is not in a position to sell players unless the offer is substantial and the player is interested. He noted, “We don’t have to sell anyone, but if the offer is good and the player would like to go, of course we will judge it and see.”
As Bodø/Glimt prepares for the next leg of the Champions League, observers are keen to see how Høgh will continue to perform on this prestigious stage. His recent form suggests he could play a pivotal role in the team’s pursuit of further success in the tournament.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any potential transfer developments, but Høgh’s performance in the Champions League has undoubtedly increased his visibility in the football world.
