​DONE DEAL: Forster joins Celtic from Southampton

Fraser Forster has signed for Celtic again.

The former Hoops goalkeeper is back at the club after securing a season-long loan deal.

The 31-year-old Englishman felt he was surplus to requirements at the St. Mary's Stadium club.

It means he will get the chance to fight for a first team position he served with distinction in the past.

"I'm absolutely delighted to be here, it feels like I'm coming home and I'm buzzing to be back at this great club," Fraser told Celtic's website.

"Now, I just want to get back training and get back playing.

"Obviously, I know what the number 67 means to this great club. It's an honour to wear the shirt and an even bigger honour to wear this number.

"I loved my time here before and I felt like it was the right number for me, I'm really proud to wear it, and I want to do my absolute best for this club.

"The gaffer has always been brilliant with me, and when the opportunity came up to come back and work with him again, it was one that was too good to turn down.

"I'm delighted to be back – Woodsy is still here, and I know a lot of the lads, which is makes it feel like I've come back home. With that in mind, I hope I can fit straight back in."
