Lennon: Forster to stay

Fraser Forster: Celtic keen for goalkeeper to stay until at least the summer

Sky Bet Loading Market ... Football Betting Up To £30 Free Matched Bet Celtic boss Neil Lennon expects goalkeeper Fraser Forster to still be at the club when the January transfer window closes.

Lennon confessed that he wouldn't be too shocked if an offer did come in for the in-form 25-year-old, but is keen for the England international to stay with the Scottish champions.

Forster has gone 10 consecutive domestic games without conceding a goal and Lennon is hoping to keep him at the club until at least the end of the season.

Forster has already made one international appearance for England and will want to continue his impressive performances to try and gain a spot in Roy Hodgson's World Cup squad.

Lennon told the Scotsman: "I've said all along that I'm pretty confident he'll be here when the window closes, as the majority of our main players will be.

"It wouldn't surprise me if an offer were to come in. But we're not encouraging it at the moment."

When asked if he thought the England international would still be at the club at the end of the January transfer window, he said: "I'm pretty sure, yeah.

"I've said all along that we spoke to Fraser in the summer, we emphasised our position - and he was quite happy and content with that.

"I think he's pretty happy here. I know he has got personal aims in the future. But his short-term future, anyway, is with Celtic."
