Kasper Schmeichel: Celtic goalkeeper 'could've played last game' with two operations needed

Kasper Schmeichel has made 88 Celtic appearances Celtic goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel may have played his "last football game" with surgery required on his shoulder but he is eager to "fight" to regain fitness. The Denmark international, 39, last played on 22 February and will have the first of two operations later this month. He will miss his country's World Cup play-off semi-final against North Macedonia on 26 March. The former Leicester City keeper is out of contract at the end of the season and faces up to a year of recovery. "I could've potentially played my last football game," Schmeichel told CBS Sports Golazo. "I've been a footballer since the day I was born. It's devastating. It's very, very hard to wrap my head around at the moment. "I got the message [on Tuesday] that it could potentially be the end of my career. By the time I could get back fit I could be plus 40. "I'm going to give it everything I can to see if I can get back. It would be probably one of the greatest feats of my career if I could ever get back from an injury like this. I'm going to fight, I'm going to try everything I can. I'm going to do the rehab." Have Old Firm wrestled title momentum away from Heart
