Kasper Schmeichel extends contract with Celtic until summer of 2026 | OneFootball

Celtic Football Club is delighted to announce that it has extended its contract with Kasper Schmeichel until the summer of 2026.

The Danish international goalkeeper has performed brilliantly for the club since joining in the summer of 2024, and has played a pivotal role this season, both domestically and in Europe.

The 38-year-old has been an ever-present so far in Brendan Rodgers’ starting XI this campaign, playing in all 34 of Celtic’s games.

And he has already lifted his first trophy as a Celt, playing a key role in the dramatic League Cup final penalty shoot-out victory over Rangers at Hampden.

Kasper Schmeichel said: “I am really happy to extend my contract with the club.

"I have had a great welcome and have loved every minute so far at Celtic and I am really looking forward to the next period at such a great football club.

“We have already enjoyed success this season and everyone at the club is focused on delivering more.

“It has been great to be working again with the gaffer and to be part of such a brilliant dressing room, and I wanted to be a part of this going forward.

“As ever, we are all really together and fully focused on bringing our fans as much success as we can.”

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers added: “I am really pleased that Kasper will be staying with us. He has already made a great impact on the club, on and off the pitch, and his quality and experience been crucial for us.

“Clearly we knew that we were signing a top keeper last year but he has really delivered for the club already and I know he will continue to do so.

“I know how much he loves being part of such a great club, and as one of our real leaders he will be a massive part of what we are hoping to achieve as we go forward.”
