Kasper Schmeichel refused to blame Cameron Carter-Vickers as he brushed off the nightmare own goal conceded in the Champions League draw against Club Brugge.

The Celtic No1 revealed he had screamed at the centre-back to warn him but, unaware, Carter-Vickers rolled the ball into his own goal.

It was a calamitous start for Celtic but the Denmark internationalist insisted there will be no dwelling on the mistake.

"It's one of those things," he said. "I'm showing for Nicolas, I think Nicolas is going to pass to me.

"I think Nicolas does well to get the pass to Cam but I think he is surprised by it and obviously, he is getting pressed.

"It's so loud in here that he hasn't heard me that I'm screaming that I'm not in.

"It's one of those things, we just move on. It happens."

In the aftermath, Schmeichel gathered his team-mates - with the help of captain Callum McGregor - for a mental reset after a sluggish start to the league phase contest.

He explained: "I think it is important when things aren't going [well], any time there is a chance in the game to just mentally reset to say, 'Listen, we are getting caught too many times in a mid-block. Either we go and we press high or we stay and defend'.

"They were having a little bit too much time on the ball, a little bit too much joy so it was important for us just to shore things up a little bit and get to halftime so we could restructure."

Asked whether a point was a fair result, the Celtic shot-stopper said: "Probably on reflection, We weren't ourselves in the first half, we didn't get up to the tempo of the game or get to the intensity that we know we can.

"Luckily we had half-time to change that, changed our press a little bit and things got better in the second half."

The result takes Celtic to eight points in the league phase after five matches with the club still in the qualification spots for the knockout rounds in 20th.

Schmeichel, though, reckons the points haul could have been higher. 

"I think there were chances for us to win tonight," he said. "Reasonably happy."
