Kasper Høgh Shines in Bodø/Glimt’s 3-0 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 prestigious tournament.
The match showcased a strong performance from Bodø/Glimt, with goals also coming from Sondre Fet and Ole Blomberg. Høgh’s contribution was pivotal, adding to his growing reputation as a key player for the team.
In the 2025 Eliteserien season, Høgh demonstrated his scoring prowess by netting 17 league goals and providing 5 assists, making him a standout player. His performance in the Champions League has further solidified his status, having previously scored against notable teams like Manchester City.
Frode Thomassen, Bodø/Glimt’s coach, 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 his success, there have been rumors linking Høgh with a potential transfer to Celtic, who made an enquiry for him at the end of January 2026. Reports suggest that Bodø/Glimt has set a price range between 6 to 10 million pounds for the talented forward.
Thomassen commented on the transfer situation, saying, “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.” This indicates that while the club is open to negotiations, they are not under pressure to sell.
As the Champions League progresses, observers will be keen to see how Høgh continues to perform and whether he will remain with Bodø/Glimt or make a move to another club. Details remain unconfirmed regarding his future, but his current form suggests he will be a player to watch in the coming months.
