Pressure Mounts on Kasper Schmeichel as Celtic Fans Demand Accountability

Frustration is growing within the Celtic FC support, and much of it is now directed at goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.

After a run of inconsistent performances and goals conceded that many believe could have been prevented, sections of the fanbase are openly questioning whether the veteran should remain first choice.

The argument circulating among supporters is straightforward: if any other player was underperforming, they would be dropped. So why not Schmeichel?

Costly Moments Under the Spotlight

Recent matches have seen Celtic concede goals that have intensified scrutiny around their No.1. In high-pressure fixtures — especially in Europe — fine margins matter. When mistakes or slow reactions lead directly to goals, patience quickly wears thin.

Fans argue that reputation and experience cannot override current form. Celtic are chasing domestic success while also attempting to compete at a higher European level. Standards, supporters insist, must remain consistent across the squad.

The World Cup Debate

Some critics have also questioned whether the goalkeeper’s personal ambitions — including maintaining Denmark’s No.1 shirt ahead of a future international tournament — should influence team selection at club level.

The sentiment from frustrated fans is clear: Celtic’s priorities must come first. The club does not owe any player a guaranteed platform. Selection should be earned week by week.

A Big Decision for the Manager

Management now face a defining choice:

• Continue backing experience and leadership.
• Or rotate and reinforce the message that no position is untouchable.

Dropping a senior international goalkeeper would be a bold move. But continuing amid visible fan frustration also carries risk.

One thing is certain — the conversation is no longer quiet. Among parts of the Celtic support, the call is growing louder: Accountability must apply to everyone.
