OFF the pitch they're like chalk and cheese.

But on it? Cameron CarterVickers reckons Joe Hart and Kasper Schmeichel are two peas in a pod.

When the English keeper retired at the end of the season it left a huge void at Celtic Park.

Only a top-quality goalie was going to fill it and CarterVickers believes the great Dane has already pulled that off.

The Hoops defender enjoyed playing with Hart for three years in Glasgow after they both arrived at Celtic in 2021. But the USA star is now thriving with Schmeichel at his back.

While they might have different personalities, CCV believes the pair of keepers are equally as good.

In fact, Carter-Vickers says Schmeichel's distribution might even have added an extra dimension to Celtic's play.

Tonight they along with the rest of Brendan Rodgers' side - will have to be at their best to get the better of Club Brugge in the Champions League.

Ahead of the European tie, Carter-Vickers said: "Joe and Kasper are different. They are two different people, different characters off the pitch. But on it they're pretty similar. They are keepers who have played at the top level throughout their careers and have a lot of experience.

"They're both very vocal on the pitch and really commanding. So they're also similar in that respect.

"With Kasper, I definitely feel if a team gets past us he'll save it. He has shown this season that he can make big saves when he needs to.
