Hogh scores hat-trick in 30 minutes as Celtic crushes Kilmarnock 5-1
On August 8, 2026, Celtic defeated Kilmarnock 5-1 at Rugby Park in Ayrshire during the second matchday of the Scottish Premiership—Scotland's top-flight championship featuring twelve clubs. Danish striker Kasper Hogh, 25, completed his first hat-trick for Celtic in just over 30 minutes, with his opening goal arriving after only 64 seconds. These were his first three goals since joining Celtic this summer for £11 million, a club record fee. Hogh is now joint top scorer in the Scottish Premiership alongside Killian Phillips of St Mirren.
