In the throes of Celtic's 2-0 victory over Hibs at Easter Road on Sunday, new signing Kasper Schmeichel was spotted passionately celebrating Nicolas Kuhn's third-minute opener off-camera.

Now, another clip has shown the Danish goalkeeper cutting a similarly excited figure away from the focus of the television broadcast – this time in the wake of Celtic's second goal of the afternoon.

Callum McGregor grabbed that honour ahead of the 20-minute mark when he rifled a shot from range past Hibs stopper Josef Bursik.

Towards the end of the footage, the keeper can be seen with his hands aloft applauding McGregor's goal, before immediately returning his attention to his backline calling for concentration from kick-off.

At face-value, it's basic communication from Schmeichel – but the overarching, notable point is how quickly the goalkeeper appears to have settled at Celtic already, two competitive games in, yet to concede and growing in confidence.
