In the space of three days, Celtic have gone from having a goalkeeper deficit to looking like they are sorted for the coming campaign, and possibly for a few years to come. Kasper Schmeichel will fill the leading role this season with Viljami Sinisalo as understudy.
Kasper is four years older than Joe Hart was when he joined in 2021. Whereas Joe only played around 40 games in the four seasons before then, Kasper has been first choice everywhere he has been for 15 years.
While at Leicester two years ago, Brendan Rodgers sold then 36-year-old Kasper to Nice for £1m. After one season in France, Nice promoted their reserve keeper to the top spot and released Kasper, who spent last season at Anderlecht.
That recent patchwork of clubs is the only concern in a stellar career for the Denmark captain. At Celtic he will be required to cope with high pressure environments like cup finals and Champions League games, while helping to develop the career of the man who will hopefully succeed him. His form at the Euros suggests he is ready for the task.

Tommy Conway is only a cheap option if we pick him up for a development fee in the Winter transfer window. If we sign him now he is gonna cost whatever transfer fee Bristol City want to set for him.
Colby Donovan is still 17 and has only 12 Lowland League appearances to his credit. Great opportunity for the young fella. First time I’ll have seen him play
Colby has already signed for Man (Saudi Arabia) City when he turns 18
Peter Grant the Celtic substitute for Horlicks
Tommy Burns story was the usual, tear jerking stuff.
Anyway leþs get our eyes on our squad tonight.
We do need more quality.
Maybe our magnificent board are just taking their time….

What’s ra score
Pitch is terrible
The pitch looks like a crane has been sitting on it.
Anybody got a link, please?
I love Peter Grant, a great Celt, but I wish someone would tell him he’s co-commentator and doesn’t need to make long speeches every two minutes. There are supporters who only have CelticTV on sound and Grant is going into long discussions while the game is in progress.
Have you seen that episode of Star Trek TNG when they relive the same period of time over and over?
Guys my CTv link is playing up any other sausages
Sorry D66.
Mine came back a few minutes ago.
If Donovan is away, there must be someone else who can play
I-0 Celtic
And, genuinely, your typo has put me in the mood for a roll and sausage

Pitch looks like a ploughed field
Kuhn should have made it three
Not bad.
Goodnight CQN.
I might need a coffee to see me through the 2nd half
Quite brave and faster passing in the first 30 minutes- tired a bit after that
Decent performance from Bhoys.
Bain good on the ball and a good save too. Anderson and Donovan did well.
Pitch is terrible, but we are moving the ball well despite that.
Expect to see a few Subs in second half, and not just in the Food Concession stalls.
