Celtic goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has equaled a remarkable 118-year club record by keeping five clean sheets in the first five league games of the season. The last time Celtic achieved this feat was during the 1906-07 season under the legendary manager Willie Maley, with Davey Adams in goal.
What makes Schmeichel’s accomplishment even more impressive is that Celtic not only maintained a flawless defensive record, but also won all five matches, scoring a total of 14 goals. Schmeichel, who joined the Hoops this summer to replace Joe Hart, has quickly made his mark.
The pressure on Schmeichel was significant, given the impact Joe Hart had made during his time at the club. However, the Danish goalkeeper has been sensational, including a standout performance in a 3-0 win over Hearts at Celtic Park. His commanding presence between the posts has highlighted why Brendan Rodgers brought him in, leveraging their prior relationship from Leicester City, where Schmeichel also thrived.
Schmeichel’s transition to Celtic has been seamless, proving that he remains a world-class goalkeeper and a vital signing for the club this season.
