Peter Schmeichel joined in the praise of the Celtic support after a lively couple of days in Copenhagen.
The former Manchester United keeper is one of the biggest celebrities in Denmark on the back of his performances at Old Trafford and for the international team.
As a Manchester United ambassador with almost 1 million followers on Twitter he remains a prominent voice with the backing and behaviour of the Celtic support making a big impression in the Danish capital.
Thanks to the magnificent @CelticFC fans and really great that the police in Copenhagen appreciates and applauds real football fan behaviour???#COPCEL https://t.co/ukbkougAhq

Around 3,000 Celtic fans travelled to the match, taking up every ticket allocated and a few more to give their backing to Neil Lennon’s side.
Away to AIK Solna and Lazio Celtic have incurred fines from UEFA for flares and pyro but yesterday the headlines were all positive as the police and local authorities welcomed the visitors and the opportunity to show their city in a positive light.
On the park Odsonne Edouard put Celtic in front in the 14th minute but it took a penalty save late in the second half to ensure a draw making Celtic favourites to go through in next week’s second leg.
