Tottenham Hotspur fans weren’t the only ones with a big smile on their faces when they won the Europa League in Bilbao.
Given the hero status Ange Postecoglou has at Celtic, he was always going to get the backing and love from his old club during his difficult periods this season.
Yes, Spurs finished 17th in the Premier League table and produced a very poor league campaign, but Postecoglou lifted a trophy in his second season as manager, just as he promised, and now he has hero status at Hotspur Way, just like he does at Celtic Park.
Amid all the talk around Postecoglou’s future, yes, even after he has won a trophy, you still have to plan ahead, especially with the summer transfer market set to re-open.
One former Celtic player, who has worked with Postecoglou in north London, will now depart, and he is set to become available on the transfer market.
Celtic hero Fraser Forster to leave Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur
Fraser Forster is leaving Spurs at the end of June, and he is set to become a free agent.
On Thursday, Celtic announced that third-choice goalkeeper Scott Bain will leave the club, so it will be interesting to see who the club brings in to fill that void.
If Brendan Rodgers wants to sign someone the fans know very well, then look no further than Forster, especially given that he will cost nothing.

Forster’s Celtic career in numbers
At the age of 37, there is no doubt that Forster can do a job in the background, and certainly help the next crop of talent come through.
Viljami Sinisalo has some great experience around him at Celtic Park, in the form of Kasper Schmeichel, so adding someone like Forster would just make things better.
And, at the end of the day, there aren’t many players out there who know Celtic better than the Englishman.
