"I know what he is like. I have played with him in terms of professionalism and all that. He is meticulous. He has been like that his whole career."
"Martin O'Neill has confirmed that Schmeichel is absent through illness, despite the Open Goal panel talking nonsense that he 'chucked it' against the Gers, and just didn't want to play. But now that O'Neill has confirmed the news, it proves that the conversation between the likes of Si Ferry, Slane and Andy Halliday wasn't acceptable."
"Don't get it wrong, some of the stuff aimed at the 39-year-old is correct, he is making mistakes, and probably shouldn't be starting, but there is a way to go about it."
Kasper Schmeichel faced excessive criticism on Open Goal, with panelists questioning his weight and suggesting he deliberately avoided playing against Rangers. Ross McCormack defended his former Leeds teammate, highlighting Schmeichel's professionalism and noting his physical appearance has remained consistent throughout his career. Manager Martin O'Neill later confirmed Schmeichel was absent due to illness, proving the panel's speculation unfounded. While Schmeichel's recent performance mistakes warrant valid criticism, personal attacks without factual basis are inappropriate. McCormack provided credible insight from firsthand experience, emphasizing the importance of constructive criticism over unfounded character judgments.
