Viljami Sinisalo Set for Celtic Debut Amid Schmeichel Injury

Celtic's goalkeeper Viljami Sinisalo is poised to make his Scottish Premiership debut this weekend following an injury to regular starter Kasper Schmeichel while on international duty. Schmeichel's potential long-term absence raises concerns as Celtic aims to compete for two trophies this season. Sinisalo, who has made only one appearance for Celtic, received a glowing recommendation from John McGinn and has shown promise during previous loan spells at Ayr United, Burton Albion, and Exeter City. Former Ayr United manager Mark Kerr praised Sinisalo's abilities, noting his agility and maturity for his age. As Celtic prepares for crucial matches, including a significant clash against Rangers and the Scottish Cup, Sinisalo's performance will be critical in maintaining the team's pursuit of a domestic treble. McGinn's endorsement may alleviate some fans' concerns about Sinisalo stepping into such a vital role.
