Former Aberdeen goalkeeper Joe Lewis has spoken highly of Celtic’s current shot-stopper Kasper Schmeichel, highlighting how he believes Schmeichel has been consistently underrated throughout his career. In an interview with **PLZ Soccer**, Lewis praised Schmeichel’s ability, leadership, and experience, particularly noting his achievements with Denmark and his long-standing career at the top level.
Lewis mentioned that despite being in the shadow of his father, Peter Schmeichel, Kasper has proven himself as a “top, top ‘keeper.” The Premier League-winning goalkeeper joined Celtic after Joe Hart’s departure, stepping into the role seamlessly and earning the respect of teammates and opponents alike.
With Celtic set to face Aberdeen in an important top-of-the-table clash, Schmeichel’s experience and leadership will likely play a crucial role in the game’s outcome. Lewis’s comments add to the growing admiration for Schmeichel as he continues to solidify his reputation at Celtic Park, with the option of extending his one-year contract already looking like a possibility.
Schmeichel’s future at Celtic looks bright, especially as the club also grooms his potential successor, **Viljami Sinisalo**, signed from Aston Villa, who is expected to eventually take over as Celtic’s No.1 when Schmeichel moves on or retires.
