Peter Schmeichel tells Celtic what there was 'no need' for against Brugge as Dane fails to see the positives

Peter Schmeichel insists there was "no need" for Celtic to give up so many chances as he watched son Kasper caught out by Cameron Carter-Vickers' horror mistake.

The American didn't check where his goalkeeper was and made a blind pass back that went straight into an empty net to give Brugge a first half Champions League lead. Daizen Maeda spared his teammate's blushes with a second half equaliser, but was a moment to forget for the usually reliable Carter-Vickers and while Schmeichel admitted the defender was unfortunate, he was less than impressed with Celtic's defending on the night.

The Dane reckons that despite the Hoops recovering after the break to secure a point, it's two dropped given the expectations when the draw was made for this fixture. And he's spelled out exactly what can't continue to happen if Brendan Rodgers' side are to make it through to at least the playoff round.

“Celtic started so bad and they made so many mistakes,” Schmeichel told CBS. “Cameron Carter-Vickers here, he is a fantastic player and he is instrumental to how well they are doing. He is very unlucky in this situation. But they gave too many chances away and Brugge looked like a fantastic team. There was no need for that.
