According to Ruik, free agent Vaclav Hladky may now head to Slavia Prague amid links to Celtic.

It’s claimed that Slavia are looking for goalkeepers to potentially replace Ondrej Kolar, even though he wants to stay with the club for another year.

A Czech goalkeeper who has been playing abroad was allegedly wanted, and the identity of the mystery man is believed to be Hladky.

The 29-year-old is a free agent having left St Mirren this summer, and he knows Slavia boss Jindrich Trpisovsky from their time together at Slovan Liberec between 2015 and 2017.

A reunion could be on the cards, in news that could be another goalkeeping blow for Celtic as they search for a new stopper.

Craig Gordon has gone and Fraser Forster seemingly isn’t coming back, so Neil Lennon is desperate to find another goalkeeper to come in.

The Sunday Post reported in May that Celtic are keen on Hladky, and fans earlier this month urged Celtic to go for Hladky instead of Joe Hart.

If Celtic want to bring in Hladky, they had better move quickly, as a reunion with his former boss at Slavia now appears to be in the works.
