“That dopamine hit needs replacing,” Kasper Schmeichel

Former Celtic goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel is finding his new life post-retirement to be quite a challenge. He recently admitted that his "dopamine hit" needs replacing, as he adjusts to life without the thrill of playing football. Schmeichel, who faced multiple shoulder operations after an injury sustained during a Champions League playoff match in 2026, now spends much of his time chauffeuring his three children around.

The former Celtic star reflected on the sudden transition, saying, "It wasn't one I was ready for. Life throws these things at you, and I am adjusting." He's taking on other duties such as TV work, but his competitive edge still remains. Schmeichel revealed that he's considering coaching roles and even management positions, stating, "The fire is still burning quite strongly."

For now, the decision rests with Celtic manager Martin O'Neill, who could either stick with Sinisalo or bring back Johnstone following recent mistakes.
