Celtic fans are absolutely baffled by the club announcing Fraser Forster during their match against AIK last night.

Celtic were mid way through the first half of their crucial Europa League qualifying tie when their match updates where interrupted by the announcement of Forster’s return to Parkhead.

Celtic have signed the Southampton goalkeeper on loan until the end of the campaign.

But Celtic fans were absolutely baffled why the signing was confirmed during a match.

Despite the rather strange timing of the announcement, Forster looks like a solid addition to Celtic’s team.

The England international stopper may not have played much football of late, but the has proven his quality in the Premier League previously.

Forster’s last spell at Celtic was also very impressive, and he should strengthen Lennon’s goalkeeping options.

It seems likely that Forster will overtake both Scott Bain and Craig Gordon in the pecking order for Parkhead once he is fully settled back in with the Bhoys.
