Kasper Schmeichel extends Celtic deal until 2026
The goalkeeper has penned a new contract with the club
Celtic goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has extended his contract with the club until 2026.
The Dane joined the Scottish champions last summer, signing a one-year deal.
He has impressed so far this campaign, playing in all 38 matches so far.
The 38-year-old will now stay at the club for at least another 18 months.
Schmeichel told the Celtic website: “I am really happy to extend my contract with the club.
"I have had a great welcome and have loved every minute so far at Celtic and I am really looking forward to the next period at such a great football club.
“We have already enjoyed success this season and everyone at the club is focused on delivering more.
“It has been great to be working again with the gaffer and to be part of such a brilliant dressing room, and I wanted to be a part of this going forward.
“As ever, we are all really together and fully focused on bringing our fans as much success as we can.”
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers added: “I am really pleased that Kasper will be staying with us. He has already made a great impact on the club, on and off the pitch, and his quality and experience been crucial for us.
“Clearly we knew that we were signing a top keeper last year but he has really delivered for the club already and I know he will continue to do so.
“I know how much he loves being part of such a great club, and as one of our real leaders he will be a massive part of what we are hoping to achieve as we go forward.”
