Kasper Schmeichel looks like he is about to be re-united with his former boss at Leicester City as Celtic finally get set to sign a replacement for Joe Hart.

Brendan Rodgers will of course have given this move the green light and the fact that the Denmark keeper is available on a free transfer will help make the financial aspects of the deal doable from Celtic’s perspective.

Kasper Schmeichel’s contract with Anderlecht expired at the end of June and the keeper is now available as a free agent. However Schmeichel is not short of offers with Wolves among the clubs keen to secure his signature for perhaps his last contract as a player.

The chance to work again with Rodgers, to play in the Champions League and to experience something very special that Joe Hart enjoyed thoroughly over his last three years playing the game, may swing this in Celtic’s favour.

And there’ every indication that Celtic will sign a second goalkeeper this summer although not another one in his late thirties…
