Kasper Schmeichel is set to make an appearance on The Overlap this week, joining Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Roy Keane, Ian Wright and Jill Scott for what should be an entertaining discussion.
A teaser clip on social media has already given fans a glimpse of the banter, with Jill Scott declaring Schmeichel the best-smelling guest they’ve ever had.
Pressed on what aftershave he was wearing, the Danish keeper finally admitted it was Louis Vuitton Imagination—prompting a classic Roy Keane response: “How much are Celtic paying you?”
With no midweek fixture for Celtic, Schmeichel has taken the opportunity to head south and take part in the popular football show.
It’s a rare break in the schedule before Brendan Rodgers’ side face a crucial Scottish Cup quarter-final clash against Hibernian at Celtic Park on Sunday. The experienced goalkeeper has been a key figure for the Hoops this season, and with a tough test ahead, Celtic will need him at his best.
Fans will no doubt be curious whether Schmeichel sticks to his usual matchday routines, and perhaps even whether that includes a spray of his now-famous aftershave before stepping onto the pitch.
Celtic Park is set to host 7,000 Hibs fans for the game on Sunday with their support responding big time to their recent form and success on the pitch. It will be up to the Celtic team and celtic fans to keep them as quiet as possible.
