Scott Burns believes that Matt Ryan is a top transfer target for Ange Postecoglou.

Yesterday the Daily Record reporter was first to name Osaze Urhoghide with the deal for the former Sheffield Wednesday defender announced in late afternoon.

Postecoglou has a number of missing jigsaw pieces to find with goalkeeping critical.

Last summer Celtic seemed very confident of getting Fraser Forster to return but when that deal fell through with Craig Gordon on his way to Hearts they suddenly found themselves with a problem position.

In the Daily Record, Burns writes:

Celtic struggled for a consistent No. 1 with Vasilis Barkas failing to live up to his big-money price tag and Scott Bain also was in and out.

New boss Ange Postecoglou has come in but he is likely to bring in a new keeper with Brighton’s Matt Ryan a top target.

Ryan lost his place at Brighton last season resulting in a loan move to Arsenal where he only made three appearances.

Postecoglou knows the keeper well from international duty, with a year left to run on his Brighton deal Ryan will be looking for first team football, perhaps alongside Tom Rogic managed by a familiar face.
