NEIL LENNON delivered an update on Fraser Forster this morning with the Celtic manager sounding rather downbeat about a reunion with the goalkeeper this summer.
Speaking to Sky Sports, the Irishman said the ball was in Fraser’s court but the club are also now looking elsewhere.
That gave way to the interviewer asking the Celtic boss if Joe Hart was on the list of possible replacements.
Lenny managed to dodge giving any specific but he certainly didn’t deny any interest in the former Manchester City man. It would have been the optimum time to rule Celtic out of a move for the goalkeeper but he didn’t:
???????⚽️CELTIC
Neil Lennon says a deal between @CelticFC & @SouthamptonFC for Fraser Forster has been agreed, but talks have "gone quiet from the player's side of things"
Is Joe Hart a possible replacement?

Scott Bain is Celtic’s only senior goalkeeper at the moment and with the fixtures now out, Celtic don’t have a lot of time to get someone in ahead of the new season.
The bhoys kick off their campaign on August 2nd against Hamilton. Right now, it looks like Scott Bain will be in goals for that game.
