Celtic sign Kasper Schmeichel on one-year deal as Dane books reunion with former Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers - with Scottish champions securing replacement for Joe Hart

Kasper Schmeichel is flying out to America to join his new team-mates on tour after Celtic confirmed they have signed the veteran goalkeeper on a one-year deal.

The 37-year-old Denmark captain, who has been drafted in as replacement for Joe Hart, will be reunited with manager Brendan Rodgers after the pair worked together previously at Leicester City.
