Report: Celtic eyeing move for Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster

According to The Scottish Sun, Celtic are keen on bringing Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster back to Parkhead this summer. The Hoops first-choice goalie Scott Bain could miss up to two months of action after sustaining a hand injury against Cluj during midweek’s Champions League qualifier. While Craig Gordon is expected to start against the Cup clash against Dunfermline tomorrow, manager Neil Lennon wants to bring in another experienced goalie, and Forster could be keen to return to Celtic. The 31-year-old is currently behind Angus Gunn and Alex McCarthy at the pecking order at Saint Mary Stadium.

The England international, who emerged as the Premier League Player of the Month in February 2016, helped Celtic to three titles and two cups, keeping most clean sheets in 2010–11, 2011–12, 2012–13 and 2013–14 while playing over 100 games for Celts under Lennon.
