Celtic manager Neil Lennon has suggested to The Scottish Sun that he could sign a new goalkeeper in the summer transfer window.

Lennon has suggested that he could bring in a new goalkeeper depending on the extent of the injury suffered by Scott Bain.

According to The Scottish Sun, the 27-year-old goalkeeper could be on the sidelines for two months with a hand injury.

Celtic boss Lennon has suggested that he could bring in a new goalkeeper depending on the extent of the injury suffered by the Scotland international.

Lennon told The Scottish Sun: “Scott had a scan. They are going to make a splint for his thumb but hopefully he won’t be out too long.

“It doesn’t require surgery from what we gather so we’ll gauge that as we go along. Will we bring in another keeper? It will depend on how Scott is. We’ll see.”

Could Fraser Forster be back at Celtic?

According to The Scottish Sun, Celtic are interested in signing Fraser Forster from Southampton in the summer transfer window.

The 31-year-old goalkeeper has fallen down the pecking order at the Saints, and the England international will be a good signing for the Hoops.

The Englishman played for Celtic on loan from Newcastle United in 2010-11 and 2011-12 and then signed a permanent contract in 2012.

Forster, who played under Neil Lennon at the Hoops, joined Southampton from the Hoops in 2014 for a transfer fee reported by The Scottish Sun to be worth £10 million.

Perhaps Forster could make a return to Celtic this summer.
