The 24-year-old has joined the Bhoys for an undisclosed fee - and will be officially unveiled at a press conference at 1pm.[LNB]He travelled to Glasgow on Monday to discuss personal terms and undergo a medical with the Hoops.[LNB]Rasmussen, who has three caps for his country, was recently in Thailand on duty with a Danish league select.[LNB]Rasmussen, who is nicknamed Duncan due to a resemblance to former Rangers striker Duncan Ferguson, reportedly cost Celtic more than £1million.[LNB]He started his career with AGF Aarhus before moving in 2006 to Brondby, where he scored 52 goals in 111 games.[LNB]He has also played for his country at every age group from Under-16 onwards.[LNB]While many Hoops fans believe the current strike partnership of Georgios Samaras and Marc-Antoine Fortune spend too much of their time outside the opposition penalty area, Rasmussen promised he is exactly the opposite.[LNB]Speaking to the media at Celtic's Lennoxtown training complex ahead of the SPL clash with Hibernian at Parkhead, where he is likely to feature at some stage, he said: "It is a big thing for me, it's a dream.[LNB]"Celtic are a big club so I'm pleased to be here.[LNB]"It's a very big jump up from playing with Brondby.[LNB]"I'm a striker and most of my goals are scored in the box.[LNB]"I am a box player, I like to be in the box."[LNB]Tony Mowbray believes he has added a "different type of striker" to his options.[LNB]He said: "I am delighted that we could add to the options up front.[LNB]"He's a different type of striker to the ones that we have got.[LNB]"Hopefully, given the opportunity, he can score goals which will obviously help the team.[LNB]"Samaras and Fortune do a lot of their very best work outside the box and working defences very hard.[LNB]"Scott McDonald has a more predatory instinct and gets lots of goals with his twisting and turning but this boy can score different types of goals and he is a clinical finisher given the opportunity.[LNB]"What we like is desire to score and the enjoyment when he does score."[LNB][LNB] Celtic v Hibernian To Score 3+ Goals: Celtic 11/8
