Goalkeeper Schmeichel reunites with Rodgers at Celtic

"Celtic is one of the world's proper football clubs, a massive name and a place of real passion and success. Celtic is what football is all about," Schmeichel said in a statement on Thursday.

"I know Brendan very well, too. He is a top manager and someone I can't wait to work with again."

Rodgers said Schmeichel will bring a positive mindset to the squad.

"Kasper is a real quality keeper and someone with the ability and personality to be great for us," he told the Celtic website.

"He is a guy I trust and someone who knows how to win. He lives for football and he is coming to a club where he will feel the same passion that he has for the game."
