Celtic fans welcomed news that the club have signed Fraser Forster on a season long loan from Southampton.
Mention the keeper’s name and images of Barcelona come flooding back with the Catalans amazed by his performance in the Nou Camp in a 2-1 defeat in October 2012.
The following month Forster helped improve on that result as they recorded one of the most famous wins in their modern history with goals from Victor Wanyama and Tony Watt.
Wanyama wore the number 67 jersey that night which Forster has chosen on his return to the club that he left five years ago in a £10m deal.
After slipping down to third choice at Southampton the former England keeper only made one top team appearance last season with match fitness the priority now that he has moved to Celtic.
On Tuesday Celtic play Dundee in a Reserve Cup tie which could give him an outing with the return after the September international break likely to be the time when he is ready to challenge for a first team place alongside Scott Bain and Craig Gordon.
This your way of telling us Wanyama’s no coming back ?
