Kasper Schmeichel, 39, has been under intense scrutiny after a series of errors, culminating in last week’s slack performance in the home defeat by Stuttgart.<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old from Finland stepped in and made six saves, in a display former Celtic midfielder Stiliyan Petrov described as “perfect”.<\/p>\n
Pat Bonner, the former Celtic goalkeeper, believes Sinisalo did enough to start against Rangers on Sunday.<\/p>\n
“He had some very good saves and looked composed when he had the ball and read the game well,” he said on BBC Scotland’s Sportsound.<\/p>\n
“It’s a big decision for Martin O’Neill to make at the weekend. On that performance, I would be starting him. Give him a run in the team now.”<\/p>\n
The Celtic manager agreed several players have given him “food for thought”.<\/p>\n
“[Sinisalo] played brilliantly in the game, really well. That’s the name all round the dressing room,” the 73-year-old said. “He’s got plenty of talent.<\/p>\n
“Tonight, we made some changes. Some enforced, players stepped up to the plate but we didn’t throw in 16-year-olds… these boys have played in the team and have shown they’re capable of winning games.<\/p>\n
“It wouldn’t be a headache… A selection choice.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
