Celtic fans can't believe what they saw Kasper Schmeichel do v Chelsea

Kasper Schmeichel stunned Celtic fans with his performance as they beat Chelsea 4-1 in a pre-season friendly in the USA.

Celtic rounded off their tour of the USA with an emphatic victory over the Blues and will now set their sights on the beginning of the domestic season.

The goalkeeper was one of the highlights of a game in which Brendan Rodgers’ side scored four goals and dominated the English outfit.

Schmeichel made the move to Parkhead on a free transfer after leaving Anderlecht earlier this month, replacing the returning Joe Hart who had been such a big presence at the club.

After pre-season victories against Manchester City and Chelsea, in which the keeper has played crucial roles, he is already proving to be a more than capable replacement.

As a result, fans have flocked to social media to express their surprise and delight at his performances in a Cetlic shirt so far.

Schmeichel provided a string of terrific saves to keep Rodgers’ team in the game early on, and kept a clean sheet during his time on the pitch before he was replaced.

Rodgers went into the summer transfer window looking to prepare his team for Champions League football, and Schmeichel’s performances are already showing the boost he will provide.

Supporters have flooded social media with praise for the Denmark international as he was labelled “exceptional” and “incredible”.

Happy to eat my words regarding Kasper Schmeichel ????????— Cleary (@stephencl8) July 27, 2024

Schmeichel already looks like a superb signing for Celtic. Apart from the first 15mins, they have passed Chelsea off the park here. Still look very vulnerable defensively as we have been saying for years now!— Tony Tim (@TonytheTim90) July 27, 2024

Celtic have been outstanding in the first half v Chelsea. That midfield 3 is special. Some of the patterns of play over the 3 games in US have been exceptional. Schmeichel is an obvious improvement on last season too. Buzzing for the season to start— louie (@garngad141) July 27, 2024

In other news, Newcastle could be about to sell some long-serving stars to boost their spending power.
