Celtic hosts RB Leipzig in the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, with legendary goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel starting from the first minute.
With this appearance, the Danish goalkeeper has cemented his place in the history of Europe's most prestigious club competition.
Details: Today, Schmeichel turns 38, and he becomes the oldest player to play in a Champions League match on his birthday, matching former Arsenal goalkeeper David Seaman's achievement (who did so against Schalke in September 2001).
To recall: Schmeichel joined Celtic in the summer of 2024, but he is best known for his time with Leicester City, where he famously helped the club clinch the Premier League title.
