NEIL LENNON has told how Celtic had agreed a deal with Southampton to bring Fraser Forster back to Parkhead.
But the Hoops boss says Forster has now "gone quiet" about a possible return to Glasgow.
Speaking to Sky, Lennon said: "Well we are looking at other options.
"There was a deal agreed between both the clubs and it's gone quiet from the player's side of things.
"Like everything else, we would dearly love him back here.
"But if that's not the case then we'll look elsewhere.
"We're looking at a number of options in the goalkeeping front, it's such an important position.
"Fraser did wonderful things for us last season and he's got big gloves to fill."
Joe Hart and David Marshall have been linked with moves to Celtic, while AEK Athens keeper Vasilis Barkas is also said to be being monitored by the Hoops.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
