Celtic CELViljami Sinisalo had to wait patiently for his chance at Celtic and is in no mood to relinquish the goalkeeping gloves for next season. The Finland international took over from the injured Kasper Schmeichel in February and helped Celtic achieve a league and Scottish Cup double. Schmeichel has since retired, with Celtic expected to bring in another goalkeeper, but Sinisalo is determined to see off any challengers.
If a recent report from Spain (as quoted by The Daily Record) is believed to be true, Celtic are keeping close tabs on Dinko Horkas ahead of a potential summer swoop. But they are not alone in the hun...
Celtic fans' patience is being tested to the limit as new signings remain conspicuous by their absence. Interim chairman Brian Wilson's vow three weeks ago, shortly after Martin O'Neill's confirmation as permanent boss, that Celtic were primed to be "very active" with their recruitment has yet to come to pass. All six of last season's loan recruits have left, so have out-of-contract players Kasper Schmeichel, Kelechi Iheanacho and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, while Luis Palma, Stephen Welsh and Hayato Inamura have found new clubs.
Celtic fans, we asked for your views after goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel announced his retirement from football. Cost us the Scottish Cup and other games too. Celtic clearly need to recruit but Viljami Sinisalo should be the number one, he's earned the right after stepping up to fill in for Schmeichel.
Celtic goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has announced his retirement from professional football due to a serious shoulder injury. The 39-year-old has been ruled out of action for over a year after injuring his shoulder and hasn't featured for Celtic since February. The Denmark international, who has earned 120 senior caps for his country, was due to be out of contract with the Glasgow club this summer, two years on from his free transfer after leaving Belgian side Anderlecht.
A major rebuild beckons at double winners Celtic this summer. The Scottish Cup victory over Dunfermline last weekend completed a remarkable recovery under Martin O'Neill in a chaotic campaign. For starters, goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel's Celtic days - and possibly his professional career - are over because of a serious shoulder injury.
Viljami Sinisalo has revelled in being Celtic number one and won't give up the gloves without a fight as a summer of change looms at Parkhead. The Finland international replaced the injured Kasper Schmeichel as first-choice goalkeeper in February and helped Martin O'Neill's side secure the Premiership title to leave long-time leaders Hearts crestfallen. As he looks to end the campaign with another trophy in Saturday's Scottish Cup final against Dunfermline, 24-year-old Sinisalo reflected his personal progress.
