Scottish Premiership giants Celtic were rocked with Chelsea’s link to their goalkeeper Craig Gordon, in the January transfer window. The west Londoners were keen to add the 34-year-old to their ranks as a backup to Courtois with Begovic set to leave, but a deal couldn’t be struck.
However, despite the Hoops’ plans to extend Gordon’s contract, the club is still all at sea as per his future at Parkhead, and Chelsea could still return with an offer the goalie/club won’t be able to turn down in the summer transfer window.
If he leaves for the Stamford Bridge or elsewhere as demands for him are bound to grow following the Chelsea links, here are 3 net-guarders Celtic can replace him with:
Anders Lindegaard
The former Manchester United goalie might not have lived up to the lofty expectations and heights set for him having impressed even the great Sir Alex Ferguson from his days at Carrington, but he still has plenty in him that suggests he would be a good fit at Celtic.
The 32-year-old Preston Northend goalie left the Red Devils in 2015 after 29 appearances in 5 years at the club and moved to West Brom. After failing to break into the first team at Hawthorns, he moved to Deepdale where his chances have been limited by Chris Maxwell.
Despite making just 12 Championship appearances last term and 8 in the ongoing term – keeping 2 clean sheets, Anders, who was once touted as Peter Schmeichel’s heir remains a quality safe hands and that he is hardly beaten by long shots make him a standout goalie.
