Celtic goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has undergone the first of two planned shoulder surgeries as the veteran looks to salvage his playing career.

The 39-year-old Denmark number one revealed the extent of his injuries live on radio last week.

Now, writing on Instagram, Schmeichel announced: “First shoulder operation done, everything went well.

“Now full focus on recovery and preparing for the next one. Thanks for all the messages over the past few weeks, it means a lot.”

Schmeichel, who joined Celtic after leaving Anderlecht in 2024 but is out of contract this summer, faces up to a year in recovery.

Having received some criticism for his final performances for Celtic – he has not played since 22 February – the Dane revealed that he had been playing through the pain barrier for several months.

Interim manager Martin O’Neill admitted he was “surprised at the severity” of Schmeichel’s shoulder injury.
