Celtic star puts contract talks on back burner as Kwon makes headlines after debut vs PSG
The Hoops are also locked in talks with a Championship club over a possible cooperation agreement Kasper Schmeichel insists he isn't thinking about his Celtic future as he puts contract talks on the back burner. The veteran keeper turns 39 in November and has set his sights on starring for Denmark at next summer's World Cup. Schmeichel – who replaced Joe Hart between the sticks at Parkhead last summer – hasn't thought about retirement just yet. 'No, that's just not how we operate right now,' he told STV. 'There's a massive game and all focus is on that. 'I can't imagine that's important to them or to me, at the moment. 'I've got a contract and it is what it is at the moment. We'll take that at some point.' Meanwhile, Celts are planning for the future, with young shotstopper Marcus Gill close to agreeing on a new contract. Elsewhere, former midfielder Kwon has caught the eye in France after an impressive debut against Champions League winners PSG. The South Korean was flogged to Nantes during the summer, having failed to make a single competitive appearance for Celtic since arriving from Busan I-Park in 2023. Kwon - who had mixed loan stints at St Mirren and Hibs - made his Nantes debut on Sunday as the new French top-flight season got underway. The 24-year-old didn't look out of place as he came up against PSG superstars Vitinha, Fabio Ruiz and countryman Lee Kang-in in the middle of the park. Kwon put in the hard yards before being subbed for ex-Arsenal ace Francis Coquelin in the final 10 minutes as PSG edged out 1-0 winners. And the official Ligue 1 social media accounts marked Kwon's promising start on X, sharing a picture and writing: "Kwon and Lee, South Korean talents shining in Ligue 1." Finally, Shaun Maloney is leading talks with Inverness Caley Thistle over a possible cooperation agreement with Celtic. Caley Thistle interim chief executive Charlie Christie revealed he met with the Parkhead club's professional player pathway manager. He told the Inverness Courier: 'We have been offered it by two or three clubs. Shaun Maloney drove up from Glasgow and said to me that they had done the data on the way Caley Thistle play. 'He said that we are only one of two clubs in League One that they would put players to and that is compliment to Scott Kellacher. Celtic is one we are looking at.' Celtic already have an agreement with Championship side Ayr United, which allows youngsters between 16-21 to move between the parent and cooperation teams throughout the season to increase playing time.

Carlos Alcaraz makes frantic 600-mile dash for Emma Raducanu to play US Open mixed doubles amid dating rumours

The Spaniard, 22, is set to be in action alongside the British No1 barely 24 hours on from winning the Cincinnati Open.

With Sinner heavily compromised the contest only took 23 minutes, meaning Alcaraz may still be somewhat fresh for the mixed doubles. After completing his media duties, the five-time Grand Slam winner boarded a private jet alongside Cincinnati's women's champion Iga Swiatek, who is also set to take part in the mixed doubles. Asked about the revamped event ahead of his 600-mile dash, Alcaraz said: "It's good. The scheduling is not the best to be honest, playing tomorrow. But the concept of the mixed doubles, I love it.

I'm going to have so much fun, playing with Emma. "I will try to enjoy as much as I can. I will try to see how the court is going to be, the balls, everything. "I will treat it as a really important and good preparation for me. I will try to be at my best tomorrow after the trip to New York. "I'm probably going to sleep late, but I will try to bring my best tennis to help Emma get the win then let's see if we will get it, it's going to be fun and great to have those matches." BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK 7 Emma Raducanu is delighted to be back in New York Credit: Instagram 7 Raducanu, 22, practised at Flushing Meadows on Monday Credit: Instagram This year's US Open mixed doubles event has been moved to the week before the tournament - with eight teams getting in on their combined singles rankings, and a further eight making it in via wildcards. Alcaraz and Raducanu have drawn Jack Draper and Jessica Pegula in round one - meaning that both British No1s will face off on Arthur Ashe Stadium. Emma Raducanu breaks silence on hiring eighth coach as she reveals what ex-Rafael Nadal guru will be working on The match is set to take place at 2pm local time (7pm BST). Raducanu, 22, was yesterday back at the scene of her incredible triumph four years ago. The Brit posted a picture of herself in front of her picture on the champions' wall, which also features a snap of 2022 men's winner Alcaraz. With Alcaraz still 600 miles away in Ohio, Raducanu practised on one of Flushing Meadows' outside courts at 6pm local time on Monday. Earlier this summer, speculation was rife about whether Alcaraz and Raducanu were dating. The world No35 has insisted that the pair are "just good friends". 'IT'S ALWAYS FUNNY' Reflecting on the speculation while chatting to The Guardian, Raducanu said: "I guess I'm like, it comes with the territory, people being so curious. "I think they're more curious about this news than any tennis results and tennis news. But I just keep myself to myself, my private life to one side. "It's always funny when people try to find something out, but I try not to read into it so much." Alcaraz's beaten Cincinnati Open final opponent Sinner is also in the mixed doubles draw. After his original partner Emma Navarro withdrew, the Italian teamed up with doubles world No1 Katerina Siniakova. Having retired due to illness yesterday, and having not boarded the private jet alongside Alcaraz and Swiatek, the Wimbledon champion appears almost certain to withdraw. Sinner and Siniakova are still down on the schedule to face Alexander Zverev and Belinda Bencic second on Louis Armstrong Stadium after 1:30pm local time (6:30pm BST). Speaking after yesterday's Cincinnati final, Sinner admitted that he would need "a couple of days of recovery". Swiatek, meanwhile, will partner Casper Ruud in New York. The pair are set to take Madison Keys and Frances Tiafoe second on Arthur Ashe Stadium. 7 Jannik Sinner retired down 5-0 in the Cincinnati final Credit: Shutterstock Editorial
