Unseen fan footage has surfaced online capturing Kasper Schmeichel’s passionate reaction to Celtic’s opening goal at Easter Road, and it’s quickly winning over fans. The video, filmed from the stands, shows the Danish keeper’s unfiltered excitement as Nicolas Kuhn found the back of the net to put Celtic ahead early in their 2-0 victory over Hibernian.
In the clip, Schmeichel can be seen punching the air with joy, his face lighting up as he turns to celebrate with the fans.
This moment has resonated with the Celtic support, as Schmeichel’s reaction showcases not only his passion for the game but his desire to win. Despite being new to the squad, the goalkeeper has settled in well, Callum McGregor even highlighting a few weeks ago that during one of Kasper’s first friendlies he berated Matt O’Riley for being slack.
It’s no secret that Schmeichel has big gloves to fill, coming in after Joe Hart’s tenure as the first-choice goalkeeper. However, moments like these are quickly helping him endear himself to supporters, showing that he’s not just here to do a job, but he’s here to wind
As Schmeichel continues to settle in at Celtic Park, there will be bigger moments to come from the Dane. For now, it’s another three points for Celtic and a convincing win at Hibs. Next up, Hibs!
