Kasper Schmeichel may have maintained an undefeated record on Wednesday evening.
However, it would have been of little significance to him, as Celtic failed to establish a lead in the first leg of their Champions League play-off against Kairat Almaty.
For the first time in 47 matches, the Hoops were unable to strike at Parkhead, as the Kazakhstani team executed a resolute defensive effort.
Fans inside the stadium became increasingly agitated as they bellowed “sack the board” during and after the 0-0 draw, as Celtic were unable to penetrate their defenses with their wits or speed.
Schmeichel urges Celtic supporters who are enraged to exercise patience.
Schmeichel was asked about his emotions as a seasoned Celtic squad member in response to the outcry from supporters.
He emphasized the importance of the fans, but he also requested that they exercise patience as new recruits arrive prior to the transfer deadline.
At his press conference on Friday, Schmeichel stated, “Our support is our greatest asset.” Here, the supporters’ enthusiasm is unparalleled. And you know, I comprehend their frustration and anticipation.
“However, it is imperative to acknowledge that football is not a straightforward endeavor that can be achieved through mere expenditure and acquisition; rather, it is a multifaceted endeavor.”
“I am confident that the club is making every effort to advance and strengthen in the manner that they desire.” However, football is not as straightforward as it may seem.
“I comprehend the impatience; we all desire success and immediate results.” However, it is a process.
“And as players, we are required to perform our duties on the field.” I am confident that we have an abundance of quality items in the dressing room.
“They are responsible for any alterations that may or may not be implemented.” I have complete faith in the directors. Celtic’s prolonged success is attributable to their expertise.
“So yeah, I believe that a little patience will suffice, and we’ll see.”
Celtic will be without three injured players for their match against Livingston.
It is anticipated that Schmeichel will be the starting goalkeeper for Celtic in their Scottish Premiership match against Livingston on Saturday.
Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that he will be without compatriots Alistair Johnston, Adam Idah, and Auston Trusty.
Johnston will be sidelined for 12 weeks due to a hamstring injury, while Idah and Trusty are experiencing knee and foot issues, respectively.
