Celtic goalkeeper Joe Hart has been a hit since his summer switch but needs competition.
The former England international has made the number one spot his own with ease this season.
Ange Postecoglou’s side could do with some stronger back-up to their first choice.
Vasilis Barkas’ move to Celtic Park hasn’t worked out and he is expected to head out the exit door in January.
Scott Bain is another option but is appears likely his future with the Glasgow giants will be as third choice. Therefore, there will be a vacancy for a new goalkeeper at Celtic.
Dundee United’s Benjamin Siegrist fits the bill for Celtic
Step forward, Dundee United’s Benjamin Siegrist. Landing the Swiss stopper on a free transfer next summer is a no brainer for the Hoops.
He is out of contract at the end of this season and is yet to commit his future at Tannadice Park.
Siegrist signed for the Terrors in 2018 from Vaduz in his native Switzerland and has since made 122 appearances in all competitions, keeping 47 clean sheets.
He has adapted to life in Scotland with ease and played a key role in Dundee United’s promotion from the Championship last year under former boss Robbie Neilson.
The 6ft 4inc ‘keeper has since kept his place between the sticks under Micky Mellon and now Tam Courts.
He has also played for the likes of Aston Villa, Burton Albion, Cambridge United, Solihull Moors and Wycombe Wanderers and has got plenty of experience under his belt.
Celtic need a proven number two
Celtic need a number two who is proven in the Scottish Premiership in case Hart gets injured and Siegrist fits the bill.
It is a long old season with European and cup games mixed in and Postecoglou needs someone like him who he can trust if called upon.
Siegrist has proven himself at Dundee United and the Hoops should swoop in fast before anyone else does to ensure they are well stocked up in goal.
