Breaking News: Celtic F.C has found a good replacement for their 37 year-old goalkeeper who is 3 times better than Joe Hart

Joe Hart has six more games to play professionally. After those, he’ll say goodbye to Celtic and hang up his gloves for good.

The veteran goalie said earlier this year that he was retiring. He wants to end his career on a huge high by helping the Bhoys win both the league and the cup.

On the other hand, Celtic is already making plans to find someone to replace him. It’s very important that the club has a good plan for who will take over as manager and doesn’t let the issue drag on all summer.

In the past few months, the Bhoys have been linked with a number of goalkeepers, such as Caoimhin Kelleher, who backs up Liverpool, and Anthony Patterson, who plays for Sunderland.

Now another name has come up: Asmir Begovic, who used to play for Stoke City and Chelsea and now plays for Queens Park Rangers in the English Championship.

Celtic’s Asmir Begovic is on the short list for the summer.

Talksport radio says that the Bhoys want to sign the former Bosnia and Herzegovina number one, whose deal ends at the end of the season.

However, it has been said that Begovic hasn’t ruled out getting a new deal to stay at QPR, where he’s played 46 times this season.

Still, he might want to move to Glasgow if he wants to compete for trophies and European games before he retires.

Begovic isn’t a long-term answer for Celtic. Begovic is only a few months younger than Hart and will turn 37 this summer, so he might not be the long-term solution that Celtic needs with their next goalkeeper move.

But the Bhoys know how the market is right now, and if there isn’t a good enough player out there to be the long-term number one, then this kind of move makes more sense.

Begovic has played at the highest level many times, with over 250 appearances in the Premier League, 60 caps for his country, and games in the Champions League. That might make Brendan Rodgers want to hire someone for such an important job.

Forrest, a winger for Celtic, hasn’t played much this season. He’s only started two games in all competitions.

But when he has played, he has shown that he can be counted on by hitting four goals and setting up another.

Manager Brendan Rodgers thought Forrest changed the game in last weekend’s Scottish Cup semi-final. With Daizen Maeda still out with an injury for tomorrow’s trip to Dundee, Forrest could still make a difference again.

On the other hand, Chris Sutton is confused by how the boss treats the 32-year-old. Rodgers has said that Forrest is his best player, but the amount of time he has played hasn’t shown that to be true.

During the game last week at Hampden, he made a big impact from the bench, and he said, “You would think he has a big part to play in the coming weeks.”

“But it’s hard to tell. Rodgers said that Forrest was his best wide receiver this season, but he didn’t play him for weeks.

“I know he’s getting old, but he’s only 32 years old, not 52.” Celtic fans don’t give Forrest enough credit, but if he gets his chance in the last few games, he’s already shown that he can play in the big games.

The Scotland player has shown over the years that he can be counted on. Some of the most important goals he has scored for his team have come in Europe, cup games, derbies, and the league.

Forrest has been through a lot, but he has had to change his game because he is getting older and because he used to be a left for speed.

His legs might not be strong enough for him to play for 90 minutes, or even to start the game.

Even so, he is still a reliable choice who can enter a game at certain points and have a huge effect on it, as happened last Saturday at Hampden.
