Sport nationFormer Celtic player John Hartson has praised Kasper Schmeichel as potentially Celtic’s best summer signing after his impressive performance in the 3-0 win over Rangers. Hartson, who was speaking on The Go Radio Football Show, highlighted Schmeichel’s experience and ability as a key factor in his success.
“Kasper Schmeichel is a fantastic signing for Celtic,” Hartson said. “He’s right up there to replace someone like Joe Hart. He’s got the experience, he’s got the know-how, and he’s got the ability to make big saves when it matters.”
Schmeichel, who joined Celtic in the summer transfer window, has already made a significant impact on the team. His performance against Rangers was particularly impressive, as he made four important saves and kept a clean sheet. Hartson believes that Schmeichel’s experience was a key factor in his success.
“Schmeichel has played at the highest level, he’s played in the Champions League, and he’s played in big games,” Hartson said. “He knows what it takes to win, and he knows how to make big saves when it matters.”
Hartson also praised Celtic’s strength in depth, noting that they have added several good players in the summer transfer window. Arne Engels, Valle, and Idah are just a few examples of the new signings who have already made an impact on the team.
“Celtic have added some really good players,” Hartson said. “Engels got on today, did okay. Valle, a left-back cover for Taylor, might even get in as first choice. And Idah coming on for Kyogo shows that Celtic have got options.”
Hartson believes that Celtic’s momentum and feel-good factor could serve them well in the Champions League. The team is currently riding high after their win over Rangers, and Hartson thinks that this could give them an edge in their upcoming European matches.
“They’ve got momentum, they’re riding the crest of a wave,” Hartson said. “There’s a feel-good factor there. They’ve just beaten Rangers, and they go into the Champions League now with a good feeling.”
Overall, Hartson is impressed with Celtic’s summer signings and believes that they have the potential to make a big impact on the team. Schmeichel, in particular, has already shown that he is a key player for Celtic, and Hartson thinks that he could be the best signing of the summer.
“Schmeichel could be arguably the best signing that Celtic have made,” Hartson said. “He’s got the experience, he’s got the ability, and he’s got the know-how to make big saves when it matters.”
