‘It’s A No From Me’ ‘Let Him Rot’ ‘He Made His Mind Up’ Fans Not Interested In 32 Year Old Returning To Celtic

‘It’s A No From Me’ ‘Let Him Rot’ ‘He Made His Mind Up’ Fans Not Interested In 32 Year Old Returning To Celtic

Celtic’s chances of re-signing Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster on loan during the January transfer window are pretty low, according to reports in the UK.

There has been talk that the Hoops could go back in for the 32-year-old in the New Year, with new number one Vasilis Barkas having failed to impress since his move from AEK Athens.

However, Forster’s salary, combined with the Saints needing a replacement, would make any loan move unlikely, and supporters on Twitter are pretty happy he won’t be coming back after snubbing a return in the summer:

Having a top-class keeper in between the sticks is absolutely vital if Celtic are to clinch ten league titles in a row this campaign so if Forster does become available for a reasonable price, it would be surprising if the Hoops don’t go back in for him.

Manager Neil Lennon is a massive fan of Forster so, even if supporters would be reluctant to see him return, another attempt to sign the Englishman cannot be ruled out.
