According to Sport Witness, Celtic have submitted a bid for the 27-year-old as Martin O’Neill looks to replace Kasper Schmeichel following the veteran Dane’s retirement. The latest report suggests Celtic are making progress in their pursuit after formalising their interest with an offer. First season he proved invaluable while the second season saw him become less of an asset and more of a liability. His weight appeared to be an issue as well as the shoulder injury he was carrying that eventually curtailed his second season. European qualification could define the early months of the campaign, making the position even more important.
