Kasper Schmeichel knows a thing or two about winning trophies from his time at Leicester City and he has continued that trend at Celtic.
Schmeichel and his teammates beat fierce rivals Rangers on penalties to win the League Cup at Hampden Park on Sunday.
It was the first trophy the 38-year-old had won since making the move to Celtic in the summer, where he reunited with former Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers.
During his time at the King Power Stadium, Schmeichel won the Championship, Premier League, FA Cup and Community Shield and is considered a Leicester legend.
He saved a penalty during the shootout win and has received plenty of plaudits for his performance, including one from a former Leicester teammate.

Former Leicester star Danny Simpson congratulates Kasper Schmeichel on Celtic victory
One of those who played a vital part in Leicester’s 2015/16 title-winning campaign is Danny Simpson.
The full-back formed part of the rock-solid defence that were in front of Schmeichel as the Foxes defied the odd to win the top flight for the first time in the Foxes’ history.
To celebrate the League Cup win, Schmeichel posted a picture of himself and his Celtic teammates and underneath, Simpson left a message himself which read: “Congratulations to you and the team bro. More silverware.”
By winning the League Cup title, Celtic overtook Rangers to become the most decorated club in the UK, with 119 major honours.
The reason why Brendan Rodgers sold Kasper Schmeichel at Leicester
News of Schmeichel’s arrival at Celtic Park came as a shock to many Leicester fans given the fact that Rodgers was the man in charge of the Foxes when he left the club in 2022.
At the time of his departure, Schmeichel was captain of Leicester and had been at the club for 11 years and looked to be staying until he was sold to Nice for £1m, leaving Danny Ward to step up in his absence.
Not much was made of it at the time but due to the Foxes’ financial problems off the pitch, which would become apparent in the months to follow, Leicester were in desperate need of trying to balance the books.
As Schmeichel was one of the highest earners at the club, the 38-year-old’s wages would help to bring new faces in.
At the time, Rodgers said: “It’s not all on Kasper (for a deal to go through). There are other things behind it so it’s not purely on him making a decision.”
