Kasper Schmeichel provides major Celtic update on possible injury timeline

Kasper Schmeichel has hinted he may be fit to return for Celtic in the Scottish Cup final.

The goalkeeper has been sidelined with a shoulder injury he sustained on international duty with Denmark.

Viljami Sinisalo has deputised for Schmeichel in recent weeks with the No1 ruled out for up to six weeks with the issue.

Schmeichel has been involved in Celtic training but is not yet ready for a return to competitive action.

However, he has suggested he could return for the Scottish Cup final in the final match of the season.

Celtic face Aberdeen in the final at Hampden on Saturday, May 24.

Quizzed on Sky Sports, Schmeichel said: "I hope so. I have to wait for the fracture to heal now.

"We're a long way down the line. I was in the warm up today and in training, probably at 85 or 90 per cent.

"It's the last few steps now, and hopefully, be back soon."
