Celtic goalkeeper Fraser Forster saved a penalty as the Bhoys came out 3-1 winners against Kilmarnock yesterday afternoon.
The Southampton loanee has saved two of the three penalties he has faced this campaign and also managed a number of decent stops in the 1-1 draw against Rennes on Thursday.
With his confidence growing, and looking like the keeper that played for Celtic during his first spell at the club, fans on Twitter are now calling on the Hoops to make an offer to sign Forster on a permanent basis:
Just sign him already

Manager Neil Lennon was effusive in his praise of the 31-year-old after the game:
“My goalkeeper makes another penalty save. He’s something else that boy at times. It was a complete team performance today against a very good side.”
It suggests that the Hoops boss is one of those who would be keen to see Forster stay at Parkhead beyond the end of the season.
He has now firmly established himself as the number one going forward, with Scott Bain likely to have to battle with Craig Gordon for a place on the bench when he returns from injury.
