"Both are good guys. Sinisalo has shown that he can deal with the pressure. But Schmeichel is still number one - he's still really good. We know what kind of pressure they (goalkeepers) go under, even when the team is not doing well. Kasper has the mentality to still play at the highest level and produce good performances."
"In the first leg against the Bundesliga high-flyers, Schmeichel was heavily criticised for his role in each of the goals shipped at Parkhead and was even booed by sections of the Celtic faithful. Those jeers were condemned by former Celts skippers Neil Lennon and Petrov, with current captain Callum McGregor also rallying to the veteran's side."
Kasper Schmeichel faces competition for Celtic's goalkeeper role after recent high-profile mistakes, particularly during the Europa League loss to Stuttgart where he was criticized for his involvement in goals conceded. Viljami Sinisalo impressed in Schmeichel's absence, keeping a clean sheet and earning praise. Despite the criticism and booing from some supporters, former Celtic captain Stiliyan Petrov, along with Neil Lennon and current captain Callum McGregor, defend Schmeichel's quality. Petrov emphasizes that Schmeichel possesses the mentality and experience to perform at the highest level and should remain the primary choice for upcoming matches against Aberdeen and Rangers.
