# Celtic: Fans desperate to sign Fraser Forster on a permanent basis

**Despite the fact Celtic let a one-goal lead slip away in Copenhagen last night, Fraser Forster emerged as a real positive after saving a late penalty to give his side a great chance of progressing into the next round given Parkhead’s [reputation](https://www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/sport/celtic/news/17443347.five-memorable-european-nights-when-celtic-have-come-from-two-goals-behind-to-triumph/) on European nights.**

Indeed, manager Neil Lennon described the stopper as ‘brilliant’ as he prevented Jens Stage from doubling the home side’s lead and that, along with his [performance](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50707971) in the Scottish League Cup final, are surely standout moments in his second stint as a Bhoy, having returned on loan from Southampton over the course of the summer.

As a result, plenty of Hoops on social media were begging the club to sign him permanently.

While the [Daily Echo](https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/17971796.mo-elyounoussi-talks-loan-switch-southampton-celtic/) did suggest there was no permanent option to bring him back for good in the summer, Pat Bonner (per [the Times](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/fraser-forster-could-sign-permanently-for-celtic-says-pat-bonner-7fq29jkx0)) did back him for such a switch, despite the fact the same report claims he’d have to accept a drop in salary, given the riches of the Premier League.

With that in mind, here’s a look at what plenty of Celtic fans were saying last night.
