The "jury is out" on Celtic's Kasper Hogh after Aiden McGeady called for a formation change.
The former winger said the club must find answers to defensive problems after defeats by Rangers and Ferencvaros.
Speaking on the Go Radio Football Show, McGeady backed a 3-5-2 system and urged manager Martin O’Neill to pair Hogh with fellow summer arrival Camilo Duran in attack.
He believes Duran has often been left isolated as the lone striker, while a partnership could improve Celtic’s attacking play and defensive stability. McGeady said: “I would go 3-5-2 and try to get both strikers on the pitch.

"The jury is out on Hogh; in the last couple of performances he looks lacking in confidence. But I still would like him to play up front with Duran because at times Duran on his own can be isolated.”
McGeady said Celtic’s main problem remained at the other end of the pitch. He pointed to goals conceded in key matches and said a tactical adjustment was needed.
“I think Celtic are conceding too many goals in big games and first of all, they need to address that situation,” McGeady said. “Playing that formation does help that.”
