As the second international break of the season comes to a close, Celtic’s players were heavily involved in the latest round of matches.
Anthony Ralston played a key role in frustrating Cristiano Ronaldo as Scotland held Portugal to a draw at Hampden last night.
Similarly, Kasper Schmeichel found himself in a heated moment while on duty with Denmark, as they drew 2-2 with Switzerland. This comes after Schmeichel faced criticism from the Danish media following a loss to Spain, leading him to show his determination to represent his country.
During the match, Schmeichel unleashed his frustration on Lazio’s Gustav Isaksen for his part in Switzerland’s opening goal. Despite the tense exchange, Isaksen managed to equalize for Denmark just over a minute later.
Schmeichel’s desire to prevent goals remains strong, both at Celtic and at the international level. The big Dane has only conceded three goals in domestic matches this season, although he did struggle in a Champions League game against Dortmund.
Celtic fans will be pleased to see Schmeichel’s competitive spirit, especially as the team prepares to face Aberdeen and Atalanta in the upcoming fixtures. A win against Aberdeen would be a great way to build momentum before taking on Atalanta, where Brendan Rodgers will be eager to make amends for the previous Champions League performance.
