Celtic could reportedly turn their attentions to Fulham goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli in their bid to replace Fraser Forster this summer.

Forster is looking unlikely to return to Glasgow this summer and will fight for first-team football at parent club Southampton. 

Craig Gordon has departed for Hearts, leaving Celtic in need of a new stopper. So far, the likes of Joe Hart, Vasilis Barkas, and David Marshall have been mentioned as potential options. 

Now, the Daily Mail is reporting that Bettinelli could be on Celtic’s radar. 

The 28-year-old has lost his place as number one goalkeeper at Fulham to the sensational Marek Rodak. He has played just 14 times this season with his last appearance coming in November. With his current contract at Craven Cottage expiring next summer he could be available at a reported cut-price figure of just £1 million.

Considering he has been called up to the England squad in the past it could be an eye-catching recruit for Neil Lennon’s side. 

Indeed, plenty fo Celtic fans have been reacting to the news and seem happy with the potential arrival of the 6ft 4ins talent.

However, others are simply sick of links with new goalkeepers and doubt Bettinelli’s ability to shine considering his current second rate status in West London. 

Here is some of the best reaction from Celtic fans on Twitter…
