Leicester City legend Kasper Schmeichel, after stints in France and Belgium, has found a home at Celtic, becoming the club’s first-choice goalkeeper. Despite being 38 years old, the club is satisfied with his performances and has committed to him for a longer period.
Details: The Danish goalkeeper has extended his contract with Celtic until the summer of 2026, by which time he will be 39 years old. The specific terms of the deal have not been disclosed.
Reminder: Schmeichel joined Celtic in the summer of 2024 as a replacement for another high-profile goalkeeper with Premier League ties, Joe Hart. This season, Schmeichel has been a reliable presence, starting in all 34 of Celtic’s matches under Brendan Rodgers.
Schmeichel also secured his first trophy with the club last month, helping Celtic defeat Rangers in a dramatic penalty shootout to claim the Scottish League Cup.
