Kasper Schmeichel is under scrutiny after Celtic suffered a 2-0 loss against Stuttgart in Germany on Wednesday. The veteran goalkeeper conceded two goals during the Champions League league-phase fixture. The result leaves the Scottish champions with nine points from seven matches in the revamped competition format.
According to BBC Sport, Schmeichel struggled with distribution and positioning during the encounter. Enzo Millot opened the scoring for the hosts before El Bilal Toure added a second goal in the later stages of the match. Per BBC Scotland, the defeat follows a pattern of inconsistent away form for Brendan Rodgers' side in European competition.
Celtic had previously secured victories against Slovan Bratislava and RB Leipzig but failed to register a shot on target against the Bundesliga side. Schmeichel, who joined the club on a one-year deal in July, has kept 15 clean sheets in domestic competition this season. The Glasgow club next faces Porto in their final league-phase match to determine their progression to the knockout rounds.
