Celtic’s Conor Hazard is a promising young goalkeeper.

Celtic goalkeeper Conor Hazard has suggested to The Belfast Telegraph that he could go out on loan in the January transfer window.

The 21-year-old goalkeeper has suggested that if he does not get much playing time in the first team in the coming weeks and months, then he will think about finding another club for the second half of the season to play on loan.

Hazard told The Belfast Telegraph: “I’ll see what Celtic have planned for me but if things don’t work out between now and January in terms of matches I would be looking to get more game time out on loan. If that happens hopefully I can get the right club for me.”

Leaving Celtic on loan

Hazard is a very good and promising young goalkeeper, but it is hard to see the 21-year-old get much playing time for Celtic in the coming months.

After all, the Hoops have three very good and quality custodians in Fraser Forster, Scott Bain and Craig Gordon.

Celtic manager Neil Lennon is unlikely to hand Hazard much playing time, with the Hoops fighting in the domestic arena and also competing in the Europa League.

A move on loan to another Scottish Premiership club or to a team aiming to clinch promotion from the Scottish Championship in January does make sense for Hazard.
