Celtic are being linked with one or two or 50 goalkeepers at the moment.

Since it emerged that Neil Lennon wouldn’t be taking Fraser Forster back to Parkhead for another loan, there’s speculation about the Hoops signing quite a few shot-stoppers.

And one of the more recent ones is Fulham’s Marcus Bettinelli.

According to The Daily Mail, Celtic are interested in the 28-year-old, who hasn’t played for the Championship club in nine months.

Lennon only has Scott Bain by way of senior goalkeepers at the moment, following the end of Forster’s loan and Craig Gordon’s release.

Here’s how Celtic fans reacted on Twitter to possibly signing Bettinelli:

There are other reported options for Lennon, like Joe Hart, Freddie Woodman and Vasilios Barkas.

Whoever they get, it has to be the right one because the Northern Irish manager is charged with leading the Bhoys to 10 Premiership titles in a row – and they’re on nine.

Next year is absolutely colossal for Celtic and they can’t afford a sub-standard keeper between the sticks.
