    He's a better GK than Hart, if he's still fit enough. And it would appear he is.

    Excellent saves, extremely impressive considering it was Haaland and his first time in a Celtic kit.

    His shot stopping and command of the box is better than Hart, looks fantastic and sharp for 37. Really happy we got him in.

    2 outstanding point blank one armed saves, also thought his distribution was intelligent and very good.

    You just know the guy is gonna be a great signing for us, wait till he get's a load of the atmosphere at CP lol.

    Well at least that's one of our problem positions sorted. Big man will soon be as big a hero as Hart was

    Aye it's no dig at Hart, who really stepped up for us....but Schmeichel has been playing regular/demanding football all the way through his career at club and international level..

    He was always gonna have quicker reflexes and point blank saves for me as he's simply more agile and quicker with his feet than Hart. Who was sloe when he arrived bit noticeably got more flat footed as time went on and slower to react to shots..

    No doubt in my mind we've upgraded here for now. Always been better with his distribution and looks like he can still command his box as you say. Was evident at the Euros the latter and how much he still had to offer..

    Schmeichel has been sent from *.

    We enjoy him whilst he falls in love with our club.

    And we back him, and we back Sinisalo as he is the future.

    So much respect for Joe Hart, but you could tell within minutes Schmeichel is a top top goalkeeper still.

    Quick with his feet still which will be invaluable in a Rodgers team and looks to still have the speed and reflexes to make big saves . Happy with that!

    He certainly put in some performance in that first half for sure. Looked really sharp all round.

    I don’t think we got excited enough with this signing.

    Genuinely one of the top goalkeepers around and with world class ability. Even at 37 it looks as though his age is irrelevant.

    Absolutely buzzing and almost feels unreal we’re going to be seeing him at Celtic Park for a good while.

    Top, top signing

    Was just coming in here to write something similar. The age thing maybe threw us all a wee bit but one glimpse of him the other night and already he's exactly what we need.

    Totally inspired signing, one of those ones where the stars just align and everything falls into place. Delighted with it.
