GLASGOW, Scotland (AP) \u2014 Celtic and Denmark goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel fears his career might be over because he needs two shoulder operations that will require up to a year of rehabilitation.<\/p>\n
The 39-year-old Schmeichel said he was given the diagnosis on a visit to a specialist on Monday. He has missed Celtic’s last five matches after aggravating a longstanding left shoulder injury playing against Stuttgart in the Europa League last month.<\/p>\n
