Schmeichel signs new Celtic deal until 2026

Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has signed a new contract to stay with Celtic until 2026.

The Denmark international, 38, joined the club as Joe Hart's replacement before the start of the current season and agreed a one-year deal.

Formerly of Manchester City, Nice and Anderlecht, Schmeichel added to the Premier League and FA Cup medals he won with Leicester City by saving a crucial penalty in Celtic's Premier Sports Cup final shootout win over Rangers in December.

Schmeichel has kept 20 clean sheets in 34 appearances so far this season and has been capped 111 times at senior level.

Celtic host Young Boys in Wednesday's Champions League tie (20:00 GMT) before Dundee visit the Scottish Premiership leaders on Saturday (15:00).
