Former Premier League goalkeeper Paul Robinson has claimed Celtic are currently being priced out of a move for Fraser Forster.

Celtic had Fraser on-loan last term and he showed his worth on many occasions. Before that, he was surplus to requirements at Southampton, playing for the reserves with no first-team prospects.

Robinson told Football Insider: “Southampton have unfairly priced him out of a deal at the moment.

“We are talking about a player who has not been anywhere near the first-team squad in 12-18 months. He was surplus to requirements.

“He has gone to Celtic and rejuvenated his career and now looks like a top class goalkeeper again.”

We all know Peter Lawwell won’t be drawn into paying over the odds for a player in his thirties. Celtic might have to be patient and wait until it’s clear there’s no real alternatives other than to let Fraser go back to Celtic.

It’s a risky game because another club could come in for Fraser during that time and offer him first-team football elsewhere.

Celtic haven’t made an announcement on Craig Gordon as of yet, even though the player is currently out of contract. Are they waiting on a decision from Southampton?
