Fraser Forster has said that he is ready to go straight into the Celtic side.
The keeper signed a season long loan deal yesterday after dropping down to third choice at Southampton.
With just one first team appearance this year it was assumed that Forster would require a couple of reserve team outings or Closed Door matches to get upto speed but as he faced the media today he was good to go.

Craig Gordon has been in goals for the wins over Dunfermline and AIK after Scott Bain was ruled out with a dislocated thumb.
Connor Hazard has been on the substitute bench for the last two matches but could make way for Forster when Hearts visit the hoops on Sunday.
Yesterday was the fourth time that Forster signed for Celtic which is likely to be a club record. In 2010 and 2011 he signed on loan from Newcastle before making the move on a permanent basis in 2012.
