Kasper Schmeichel has played every minute of the Scottish Premiership season for Celtic following his arrival on a free transfer. The 39-year-old goalkeeper joined the Glasgow club in July 2024 to replace the retired Joe Hart, according to Sky Sports. His performances have maintained Celtic's position at the top of the league table as they pursue a domestic double.
Manager Brendan Rodgers praised the Denmark international for his leadership and composure in high-pressure matches. Schmeichel recently kept his 15th clean sheet of the league season during a 2-0 victory over Motherwell, per data from Transfermarkt. This defensive stability has proved vital as Celtic prepare for the upcoming Scottish Cup semi-finals at Hampden Park.
The veteran goalkeeper signed a one-year contract that expires in June 2025, although reports from The Athletic suggest the club holds an option to extend the deal. Celtic currently lead Rangers by five points in the standings with eight matches remaining in the season. Schmeichel's experience remains central to the club's strategy for retaining their league title.
