Watch: Kasper Schmeichel’s Heart Warming Celtic Fan Gesture

After a coMMAnding 4-0 win over Kilmarnock on the opening day of the season, Kasper Schmeichel capped off his Celtic Park debut with a moment that will live long in the memory of one young Celtic fan.

As the final whistle blew and the celebrations began, Schmeichel spotted a young supporter in the stands wearing a Celtic goalkeeper top. Without hesitation, the experienced shot-stopper made his way over and threw his gloves into the crowd. The youngster’s dad, with quick reflexes, caught them and handed them to his beaming child.

It was a touching gesture, reminiscent of the kind-hearted acts they had grown accustomed to during Joe Hart’s tenure at the club. Hart, who retired at the end of last season, was well-known for his connection with the fans, often taking time to engage with the younger supporters. Schmeichel, it seems, is eager to continue this tradition.

On the pitch, Schmeichel was a calming presence, dealing confidently with the ball at his feet and coMMAnding his area with authority. Off the pitch, his generosity and connection with the fans are already winning hearts.

It’s early days yet, but all signs point to Schmeichel seamlessly picking up where Joe Hart left off, both as a leader in the team and as a popular figure among the supporters.
