Manchester United legend drops potential Celtic hint

Celtic have already seen four players leave the club this summer. Sead Haksabanovic, Rocco Vata and Oh Hyeon-gyu have moved on from Parkhead for good. On the other hand, Marco Tilio has left on loan to rejoin Melbourne City FC. On the other hand, the Hoops are yet to see the arrival of a fresh face.

However, that could be about to change soon. It is believed to be only a matter of time before Kasper Schmeichel completes a move to Celtic to replace Joe Hart, who retired at the end of last season.

Brendan Rodgers has worked quite a bit with Schmeichel in the past during their time together at Leicester City. So he’ll know exactly what he’s getting with the Danish number one.

It’s unclear where the deal is right now, but we’d expect it to be official soon. His legendary father may have already dropped a subtle hint. As reported by The Celtic Star, Peter Schmeichel appeared on TV ahead of England vs Spain wearing a green and white tie.

The color combination of the tie looks interesting given the speculation about Schmeichel’s future. On the other hand, it could be a matter of reading too much into things.

Whatever the case, it doesn’t really matter. Several reliable outlets have already reported that Schmeichel’s deal to join Celtic this summer is as good as done.

Of course, there are mixed feelings among fans when it comes to the move. On one hand, you have to appreciate the experience, leadership and proven quality that Schmeichel would bring to the table.

But on the other hand, there was hope that Celtic would sign a goalkeeper on a long-term basis this summer. Schmeichel is not like that at 37 years old.
