Kasper Schmeichel Reunites With Brendan Rodgers After Making Celtic Move

Schmeichel was a free agent after leaving Anderlecht at the end of the 2023/2024 season.

The 37-year-old is well noted for his 11-year stay at Leicester City, where he won the Premier League title, FA Cup and Community Shield.

After leaving the Foxes in 2023, Schmeichel signed with Ligue 1 side OGC Nice, where he stayed for one season.

The move will see Schmeichel reunite with his former Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers at Celtic.

"I am absolutely delighted to join Celtic and can't wait to get started," Schmeichel told the club's official website.

"Celtic is one of the world's proper football clubs, a massive name and a place of real passion and success. Celtic is what football is all about. 

"I know Brendan very well, too. He is a top manager and someone I can't wait to work with again. 

"I'm really looking forward to meeting up with the boys [on their pre-season tour] in America and starting our work and then, of course, meeting our fans who bring so much to Celtic.

"I will be doing all I can to keep Celtic on top and bring these brilliant supporters more and more success."

"I am really pleased to bring Kasper to Celtic," Rodgers added. "He is a real quality keeper and someone with the ability and personality to be great for us.

"He is a guy I trust and someone who knows how to win. He lives for football, and he is coming to a club where he will feel the same passion that he has for the game.

"I know he will feel right at home at Celtic, and we look forward to working with him as we all aim for more success."
