Peter Schmeichel shared a touching moment live on air with his son Kasper after Tuesday night’s Champions League action.
Kasper had kept a clean sheet for Celtic away at Dinamo Zagreb to edge the Scottish title-winners a step closer to the knockout play-off round.
The 0-0 draw means Celtic have nine points after six games before clashes with BSC Young Boys and Aston Villa, giving them a decent shot at advancing.
And after the match, it was his father and Manchester United legend Peter who was called upon to interview him for CBS Sports.
After they discussed the night, host Kate Scott invited the pair to embrace.
‘Kasper, I do want you to know how much we love your dad,’ she began. ‘He’s such an important part of the show. We have huge repspect for him and he’s just a wonderful person.

‘So, will you give him a hug, please?’
The duo were happy to oblige and threw their arms around each other’s necks as Scott, Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher, and Clint Dempsey clapped in the studio.
Notably, Micah Richards was missing from the coverage, away in Italy, and the Schmeichels used that as an opportunity to bring up a point of contention.
‘Where’s Micah, by the way?’ Peter asked. ‘We’ve got a bone to pick with Micah. We’re finally doing this? Where is he?’
Scott urged Peter to reveal what their problem was, but the goalkeeping pair stayed silent on that matter, leaving a veil of mystery on the situation.
Peter replied: ‘We’ve got to wait. Make sure you go through (pointing as Kasper) because we’re going to do this again and Micah is going to be in the studio.’
Scott started chanting ‘fight’ and Carragher revealed that he would ‘fancy Kasper’ to win if he had a bout with the former Manchester City star.
It is unclear what the problem with Richards is, but there was an awkward moment earlier this season where Carragher claimed that he was responsible for being held back at City in favour of Joe Hart – though Peter didn’t believe him.

Kasper and Richards used to be at Manchester City together and, earlier this season, Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher suggested the defender had thwarted the goalkeeper’s progress
The former Liverpool star had said: ‘Peter if you are going to be together, you need to know a little secret about what happened between Micah and your son at the youth team at Manchester City.
‘Kasper was a year above him [Richards] and there was a bit of friction about who was the top dog and main man.
‘Micah kept it with him when he made it to the first-team.
‘God rest his soul Sven Goran Eriksson asked him who he should choose to be the first-team goalkeeper as he was not sure whether it should be Joe Hart or Kasper. He plumped for Joe Hart because of the friction he had from years before.’
It could be for this reason that the goalkeeping legend claimed there is a ‘bone to pick’ with Richards.
Moreover, Kasper gave a few details of their youth together at City on the latest episode of the show.
‘Do you know how annoying Micah was in school? We used to do college together when we were at City and we got nothing done because of Micah.
‘I don’t think that surprises anyone that Micah wasn’t paying attention in college.’
