Liam Scales has hailed the arrival of Kasper Schmeichel as the perfect man to pick up the Celtic gloves from Joe Hart.
The Republic of Ireland ace said: “It’s brilliant. If you were looking for a replacement for Joe in terms of experience then he’s absolutely perfect. He’s another Premier League winner and has been successful though the years and played numerous times for his country. When you look at experience it’s almost like for like. It’s great to have some one who has been there and done that.
Hoops defender Greg Taylor insisted Schmeichel’s heroics for Denmark at the Euros proves the keeper is still top class. He said: “It’s a massive signing for us. Joe Hart was a great servant to the club and a great guy to have around the place so hopefully that’s what we’ve got again. Playing in the Euros for Denmark you saw that Kasper’s a real leader and we’re delighted have him.
Royal Antwerp gaffer Jonas De Roeck admitted he might struggle to keep hold of the attacker. He said: "It's not nice for a coach, but part of the game, in today's transfer system with a market that is open until early September.
