Kasper Schmeichel has announced his retirement.

The Celtic goalkeeper admitted back in March then he might have played his final game.

"When my contract with Celtic expires in June, I will stop my active football career," Schmeichel announced to TV2.

"It is a decision that has been made for me. I have consulted various surgeons and experts in relation to my shoulder, and they have told me that I should not expect to return to playing top football.

"I have given myself a lot of thought, but I believe that now is the right time."
