    Trying to follow in the footsteps of father and Premier League legend Peter Schmeichel is no easy task. However, Kasper Schmeichel emerged from his father's shadow at Leicester City and now Celtic.

    Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel is a Denmark international who plays in goal for Scottish giants Celtic.

    Schmeichel started his career at Manchester City and spent several seasons on loan before joining Notts County and winning the League Two title with them in the 2009/10.

    The following season he joined Leeds United and then Leicester came knocking in 2011/12. 

    He has played over 100 times for his country and won the Premier League and FA Cup with Leicester City.

    After over a decade at the Foxes, he moved to Nice, then Anderlecht and currently Celtic.
