The big goalkeeper clearly loves Celtic fans.
Fraser Forster has claimed that he has a ‘very special’ relationship with Celtic fans.
The Southampton goalkeeper re-signed for the Hoops on a season-long loan last month and it hasn’t taken him long to re-establish himself as a fan favourite among the Parkhead faithful.
Forster saved a penalty in Celtic’s 3-1 win over Kilmarnock on Sunday, prompting the fans to call on Neil Lennon to sign him up on a permanent basis.
Forster, who joined the Saints for £10 million in 2014 [The Guardian], previously won five major honours in Glasgow – including three Premiership titles – and the English stopper says that he ‘cherishes’ his bond with the supporters.
It could be a very, very long season for Craig Gordon and Scott Bain.
As things stand, Forster won’t be dropped as Celtic’s number one goalkeeper any time soon. Gordon has been playing second fiddle to Bain for most of the calendar year, though an injury to the former Dundee star resulted in Lennon dipping into the market for Forster.
In truth, Lennon might have brought him back regardless, by virtue of Bain’s struggles prior to being injured.
