Celtic’s acquisition of not one but two new goalkeepers this week made this inevitable but it now looks like Neil Lennon will profit from the situation.
Celtic’s Benjamin Siegrist is in discussions for a potential move to Neil Lennon’s Rapid Bucharest. The Swiss goalkeeper has been granted permission by Celtic to fly out to Romania in hopes of sealing a permanent deal. [RecordSport.
At 32, Siegrist is eager to revive his career, having made his desire to exit the Hoops clear. After Joe Hart’s retirement Celtic moved quickly, signing Kasper Schmeichel and Finnish keeper Viljami Sinisalo from Aston Villa. They are the new number one and two going forward.
Siegrist, who joined Celtic from Dundee United in 2022 under Ange Postecoglou, has struggled to cement a regular starting spot at Parkhead.
Despite his efforts to find a new club over recent transfer windows, interest from both Scotland and Europe failed to materialise into a satisfactory offer.
Now, the opportunity to work under former Celtic manager Neil Lennon at Rapid Bucharest could be the fresh start he needs. Lennon, seeking to rejuvenate his own managerial career, took the helm of the Romanian side this summer with ambitions to restore the club’s former glory.
