Kasper Schmeichel explains to Jamie Carragher the reason for his ‘annoyance’ regarding Celtic’s 5-1 victory over Aberdeen. Kasper Schmeichel has been an exceptional acquisition for Celtic.

The Bhoys are currently 16 points ahead of the Scottish Premiership table, and the large Danish custodian has conceded only 17 goals in his debut season at Celtic. Schmeichel has also been instrumental in Celtic’s exceptional results in the Champions League.

In the 1-1 stalemate with Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena, the 39-year-old delivered an exceptional performance, assisting Brendan Rodgers in the process of making history in Germany. Nevertheless, there is a victory that remains in the Celtic goalkeeper’s memory that, despite the emphatic winning scoreline, has “annoyed” him this season.

The reason for Kasper Schmeichel’s irritation with Celtic’s humiliation of Aberdeen. Brendan Rodgers’ lead in the title race was extended to 16 points following Celtic’s 5-1 victory over Aberdeen. Nevertheless, the late Shayden Morris goal remains etched in Schmeichel’s memory, and in this interview, the veteran custodian elucidates the reason for this to Jamie Carragher.

“That’s the thing with clean sheets, I think it’s a bit of a vanity stat,” Schmeichel stated in an interview with Stick To Football [5m 30s]. “We’re 4-0 up at the time, and we’re pretty comfortable within the game.

Then they score a goal, and we go straight down the score again.” “It is a state of mind.” In fairness, we have performed exceptionally well this season. We have been quite ruthless in encounters where we have been at ease. “I believe that you are expressing a ruthless mentality, as if we are impervious to defeat.”

I was both annoyed and disappointed, as I was unaware of the fact at the time, but I was informed later that it would have been the first time in Celtic’s history that a team had maintained 10 clean sheets in a succession. We have only conceded two goals at home this season, and one of them was against Aberdeen in October. “This was the first time we had conceded since October.”
