Search for new Celtic keeper is as a backup for Zaluska not replacement

Celtic assistant manager Johan Mjallby clarified the Hoops are looking for a stopper to compete with Lukasz Zaluska, rather than replace him. Trialist Stipe Pletikosa is already pencilled in to play against Wolves in Wednesday night's friendly at Parkhead but Mjallby was unhappy with the suggestion that Zaluska is on borrowed time.

"Who said he is not good enough to be number one?

"We want to have really good come competition.

"Remember last year we had Fraser Forster who broke the record for clean sheets.

"We want someone who is as good as Fraser if we can't have him, so there is competition.

"Right now Lukasz is the number one and we have to wait and see if we can bring in someone else who can give him good enough competition.

"We are always on the look-out for quality players."
