Peter Schmeichel Explains How He Has Fallen In Love With Celtic

Man United legend Peter Schmeichel played for several clubs in his career, but he will always been seen primarily as an Old Trafford legend.

The goalkeeping hero was between the sticks when the club won their historic treble back in 1999, and of course he remains a Red Devil to this day.

However, he obviously supports whatever team his son Kasper Schmeichel is playing for, and when the ex Lecister City shot stopper moved to Celtic last summer, that meant that his father was also an honorary Hoops fan.

Despite their recent 7-1 hammering against Dortmund in the Champions League, Schmeichel has been very impressed with how they play football under Brendan Rogers, and he told Stick to Football exactly why.

So obviously I’m watching Celtic a lot at the moment. What they do is they try to sort of suck the teams in, and then they have this one pass through the middle, and they’ve got four players up front with incredible pace.

"That is so effective. It’s only three or four passes. It’s never, you know, working your way through the team.

"It’s only three or four passes, and if it’s not on, the ball’s kicked up.”

Kasper is enjoying his first season in the green and white jersey, and has had a brilliant career up until now, with his most notable success coming when Lecister City won the Premier League in 2016.

Roy Keane, who played for Celtic during the last six months of his career back in 2006, sees the transfer as a successful one.

 "Celtic is a good move, eh? Is he enjoying it at Celtic? It's a really nice fit for him."

Schmeichel couldn't help but smile, shake his head, and explain why it is a match made in heaven for his son and he club.

"It’s perfect. It’s perfect. With the manager he knows, the atmosphere around, I mean, Celtic is just a massive, massive club.

"You know that better than me, but the team they have, it’s amazing. He’s back in the Champions League now, so it’s a good move for him.”

Although Celtic are struggling in the Champions League they currently sit top of the Scottish Premier League and Kasper is in prime position to add some trophies to his cabinet by the end of the season.
