Celtic: Fans laud Fraser Forster after last-gasp save against Lazio
It was Christopher Jullien’s 89th-minute header that proved the match-winning moment for Celtic in last night’s Europa League clash against Lazio at Parkhead, but the centre-back and his team-mates would soon owe a huge debt of gratitude to their last line of defence for ensuring that the score remained 2-1.
Will Celtic get to 10 in a row?
Yes
No
In the fourth minute of stoppage time, Celtic struggled to clear their lines as Lazio poured forward in search of an equaliser. The ball dropped to Danilo Cataldi, whose powerful first-time volley looked destined for the top corner of the net. [via UEFA.com]
However, as noted by @CelticFC on Twitter, Hoops goalkeeper Fraser Forster came up with a sublime save, showing incredibly quick reactions to get across and push the ball away to get Celtic over the line.
90+4’ – SAVE!
Forster does it again with a spectacular stop to seal the victory!

It was the last of four saves that the 31-year-old made on the night, with the Southampton loanee also doing excellently to thwart Ciro Immobile from close range with the score at 1-1 earlier in the game.
These Celtic fans on Twitter expressed their immense appreciation for Forster after his stoppage time heroics:
