Danish websites take an interest in the new Celtic hitman

It has been understandable that all of the focus of Celtic fans and international interest has been about Robbie Keane and Ireland. The player is without doubt a cut above the average SPL player but his loan signing has been as much about the commercial spin-offs as it has been about the player’s ability.

Then again, Tony Mowbray and Peter Lawell should both be happy about the impact the Irishman can have.

The past day has seen a buzz around another new signing though.

Diomansay Kamara looked impressive against Dunfermline, Braafheid made a solid start at left-back but Danish striker Morten Rasmussen has captured the attention of Celtic fans and his media back home.

Rasmussen may be the penalty box striker that Celtic have been crying out for and the player has two goals to his name, in only one start. He was also heavily involved in Celtic’s third goal against Dunfermline, his pressure forcing Callum Woods to place the ball into his own net.

Avisen is a Danish newspaper and their story focuses on the instant impact the striker has made and another new nickname for the player.

Avisen story about ‘Duncan’ Rasmussen

The obvious story about Rasmussen before he arrived centred on his nickname of Duncan, after Duncan Ferguson, so you can see the angle for Celtic fans! It turns out that the player was also previously nicknamed ‘Mini’, an ironic nickname given his height.

The paper picks up on the Ra Ra Rasmussen nickname but possibly picks up the wrong influence for the nickname. The spectre of Boney M (and a little bit of Lady Gaga) hangs high over the origins of the strikers nickname.

Regardless of this, the story has certainly caught the attention and WeKnowSFA hopes to have played a small part in the article. A link to the Rasmussen products in the newly launched WeKnowSFA store can be found in the Avisen article.

A google translation of the Avisen front page offers this insight to its readers:

With all of the focus on Robbie Keane, Rasmussen may be able to make the difference in the box for Celtic but will it be enough to turn the SPL title race.

Are you impressed with Rasmussen so far?
