Celtic keeper Kasper Schmeichel in huge retirement hint
The Celtic keeper has a year left of his Hoops deal, but turns 39 in November.
His back-up keeper at Parkhead, Viljami Sinisalo, insisted last week he was desperate to eventually become No.1 with the Scottish champions.
And Schmeichel has now admitted he would consider a return to his Danish homeland, where he's never played before.
He said: "I would never turn down the possibility of playing in Denmark one day.
"If the opportunity arose, I would always take it seriously and see if there were sporting advantages to it.
"I've always thought that football is so unpredictable that you always have to take any possibilities seriously.

"Every time I see a Danish team in Europe, they are always competitive. It's really rare that they get heavily beaten.
"For me, British football has suited me well. My mentality was built in British football as a young man and that's where I've played the most."

Tottenham to name Thomas Frank as head coach after agreeing deal with Brentford
Spurs quickly set their sights on Frank after Ange Postecoglou was sacked last week – only 16 days after he secured Europa League success – and made an official approach to Brentford on Monday. Discussions between Tottenham and Brentford initially centred on Frank's current terms at the west London club, which were set to run until the summer of 2027 and contained a release clause reportedly in the region of £10million. Further talks were required over which backroom staff Frank would take to Spurs but, after days of negotiations, a deal was struck with Brentford on Thursday, PA understands. Highly-rated Brentford first-team coach Justin Cochrane is set to follow Frank to Tottenham and in the process return to the club where he started his coaching journey. London-born Cochrane has been part of Frank's backroom staff since 2022, after he initially developed as a coach in Spurs' youth-team before a spell at Manchester United. Cochrane, 43, has earned a reputation as one of the brightest coaches in England and earlier this year joined Thomas Tuchel's coaching staff for the national team alongside his role at Brentford under Frank. Frank would take over a Spurs side which won a trophy for the first time since 2008 with victory in the Europa League final last month but finished 17th in the Premier League. "One of the best stories in English football" 💬 We sat down with Thomas Frank to get his review of the 2024/25 season as we secured a second top ten finish in three years ⤵️ — Brentford FC (@BrentfordFC) May 30, 2025 The ex-Brondby boss has transformed Brentford during his seven-year spell in charge, with promotion from the Championship in 2021 followed by him establishing the club as a Premier League regular despite a modest budget. Christian Eriksen, who played under Frank at Brentford and starred during a seven-year spell at Spurs, backed his compatriot to be a success at his former club. 'I think he is the right coach for Tottenham,' Eriksen told Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet. 'I have had Thomas at various times and I think he is the perfect match for Tottenham, and it would be great if Thomas takes on that challenge. 'His personality, his way of playing and his way of being. And the club considering where they were last season – they won a trophy of course – but they are in the process of building something up, and I am sure that Thomas is a good man to bring in.'
