    Tbh it's one of them he's possibly too good to be playing where he is, talking about Boruc, Forster and stuff but those guys weren't really at this kinda level when joining us, this guy is.

    Nothing phases him. There's genuinely not many keepers I would take over him right now, if any. Has such a positive attitude, a leader, so calm & composed with the ball at his feet, even under pressure in massive games like last night. Top notch shot stopper, claims crosses, positionally superb.

    Fantastic game for Schmeichel last night - such an important part of our team, hope we can keep hold of him. If you've got a good keeper, you've got half a chance in any game.

    A good example of the importance of experience in certain positions. Before he signed many fans were clamouring for keepers from Europe and elsewhere, at ridiculous fees. Even wanting us to pay a record fee for Kelleher.

    At our club where a keeper is going to be inactive for a long spell requires a special mentality. Not everyone is up to it. Keepers who look good elsewhere have shown they aren't able to focus when at us.

    Both Hart and Schmeichal, with Gordon before them show that experience in that position is vital. And financially it makes sense. Schmeichal is the best of the 3. His ability on the ground is exceptional.

    Not every player has to be bought to sell on.

    Best all round keeper I've seen for us.

    Leadership, distribution, saves and mentality.

    Him and Hart are exactly the type of keeper we should be going for.

    One with a wealth of experience and still have something to offer in the game.

    Yes, they're past their prime but they are outstanding in what we need them to do. Schmeichel is better than Hart but at the time, we needed someone to stabilise the back of the team after Barkas * it.

    Best GK we've had its really tuat simple.

    Can talk about FF and Boruc but Schmeichel has everything. Genuinely didn't realise how good his distribution was before he signed.

    Is it wrong to say that I think he's already my favourite EVER Celtic goalie?

    Sorry Artur and Fraz...

    That’s sensational really. I knew he was excellent with his passing under pressure but to see his name at the top of the pile is something else. He’s elite. * knows why Leicester got rid.
