Speculation is rife on social media over Celtic’s goalkeeping situation ahead of their upcoming trip to Kilmarnock, with doubts emerging over Joe Hart’s availability.

The English goalkeeper, a mainstay in Celtic’s lineup, was notably absent from the training photos released on Friday. While it’s common knowledge that Celtic limits media access to training sessions, Hart’s absence from the publicly shared images has fueled speculation.

It’s worth noting there have been no reports or comments from the manager about Hart missing the match, these are all just rumours on social media.

In contrast, Swiss goalkeeper Benji Siegrist, who joined Celtic 18 months ago, has been active on social media, sharing photos of himself in training. His latest post, captioned with the eyes emoji, has intrigued fans, hinting at a potential inclusion in the squad.

Siegrist, despite his experience and expectations of challenging for the first-team spot, has found opportunities hard to come by under both Ange Postecoglou and Brendan Rodgers.

Siegrist’s situation at Celtic has been a curious one. This season, he has made only one squad appearance this season, stepping into the squad against Motherwell when Hart was suspended. Scott Bain started between the sticks.

Notably, he was also left out of Celtic’s Champions League squad list, a move that raised questions about his future at the club.

The speculation around Hart’s potential absence and Siegrist’s cryptic social media activity comes at a time when Celtic is reportedly in the market for a new goalkeeper.

Siegrist, expected to be a strong contender for the first-team role upon his arrival, has seen his Celtic career stagnate. However, the latest developments could signal a change in his fortunes. If Hart is indeed unavailable for the Kilmarnock game, Siegrist could find himself thrust into the spotlight, providing him with a much-awaited opportunity to prove his worth.
