Kasper Schmeichel may have only joined Celtic in July, but the Danish goalkeeper is already proving that he understands what it means to play for the Hoops.
Following the team’s hard-fought 1-0 victory over Aberdeen at Pittodrie, Schmeichel took to Instagram with a message that perfectly captured his appreciation of not just his teammates, but the supporters.
“Big 3 points in really challenging conditions. Incredible support as always 🍀💚,” Schmeichel posted late on Wednesday night.
Embracing Celtic
Schmeichel’s words show just how quickly he has adapted to life at the club. On a night where conditions were nothing short of brutal—freezing rain and 60mph winds—the Celtic supporters turned out in force to back their team in the North of Scotland.
For Schmeichel to publicly recognise their dedication speaks volumes about his understanding of what makes Celtic special.
It’s not just his performances on the pitch—although he’s been a calm and commanding presence in goal—that have made him a fan favourite.
Schmeichel has shown a clear appreciation for the values and culture of the club, and he has fit into the team as if he’s been here for years. A worthy successor for the much loved Joe Hart.
A Key Addition
Since his arrival in the summer, Schmeichel has brought vital experience and leadership to Brendan Rodgers’ side. His steady hands and vocal organisation have been crucial during moments like Wednesday’s win, where Celtic had to battle through every challenge thrown at them by Aberdeen and the wild weather.
Yet it’s the little things—like this Instagram post—that reveal how much he truly understands what it means to be a Celt.
Celtic Fans Always Deliver
Braving some of the worst conditions of the season to cheer their team on, the Celtic support once again proved why they are considered among the most passionate in football. Their patience and commitment on nights like this are what drive the team forward.
