Celtic confident of capturing Newcastle's Forster permanently

Celtic manager Neil Lennon is fairly certain he will be able to sign Fraser Forster on a permanent basis.

The 24-year goalkeeper is on his second season-long loan from Newcastle United and this time Lennon is confident of securing the talented gloveman for good.

"We are hoping to speak to his agent and Fraser himself in the next few weeks," said Lennon.

"He knows we are very keen to get things tied up with him as he has had a fantastic two seasons here.

"The feeling he may have got on Saturday... I think it would be very difficult for him to leave here now.

"He is making all the right noises at the minute so it is a case of getting things sorted out."
