Celtic is perfect move for Kasper Schmeichel reckons Thomas Gravesen

“It shows a Kasper Schmeichel who is ready to take a step to one of the big clubs in Scotland. It shows that he thinks it’s not over yet. He has plenty of opportunities at Celtic!

“It’s the Scottish league, yes, but you play in the Champions League every year. It’s called the battle for the championship and the Champions League, so to me, it’s a no-brainer.”

 

“You expects them to compete for the championship and win it every year. He is a winner, and he has the winner’s gene in him. He was part of the long streak under Åge Hareide, where they didn’t lose in 34 games, and the possibility to make such streaks in Scotland exists. He loves things like that – breaking records and playing at the highest level,’ Gravesen said, speaking to Danish outlet Tipsbladet about Schmeichel’s imminent move to Celtic.

“I actually see that he can come close to setting a record for the fewest goals scored against him – I still think he is that good. We saw for ourselves the Scottish fans when they traveled to Germany, how vocal they were, and how much festivity they could create. It’s a very good sign of what Scottish football entails. The way football is discussed and played in Scotland suits Kasper Schmeichel perfectly.

“The Scottish league is tied up with Celtic and (the)Rangers being the two big clubs. It’s a well-attended league, and there’s a lot of action. The smaller clubs want to show themselves against the big clubs, so stadiums get filled when Celtic and (the)Rangers visit the smaller clubs. The way you are received is the joy of expectation, and you always hope that you can beat Celtic and (the)Rangers,” Gravesen said.

He can still play on the national team
