    Feel a bit bad for Conor.

    Bain picks up a knock and he’s thinking this is my chance here.


    Then boom Fraser comes back.

    Five years have passed but Neil Lennon still can't get over the sheer size of Fraser Forster .

    The Celtic boss was in high spirits as his side saw off AIK and the club secured the return of their former stopper on a season-long loan from Southampton.

    The towering keeper was in the stands to watch James Forrest and Odsonne Edouard - with a truly stunning free-kick - put the Hoops within touching distance of the Europa League group stage.

    Forster travelled to Scotland for a medical earlier on Thursday and there was an emotional, if somewhat mismatched, reunion between manager and player


    Lennon told Sportsound: "He gave me a hug in the doctor's room, I think I came up to about his navel - he looks like he's got bigger!


    We're delighted, it's a crucial part of the squad. Bain is out so we had to get another one in.

    We've got two outstandingly fit goalkeepers so it's an important department and I'm glad we've strengthened it."

    Forster's arrival creates competition between the sticks with veteran Craig Gordon back in the fold and Scott Bain sure to challenge upon his return from a thumb injury.

    But Lennon gave nothing away when asked who would be his number one as he quipped: "Mind your own business

    Wonder if he's learned how to collect a cross since he left?

    If he’s anywhere near fit he strolls in as number 1 for me. Cracking big goalie.

    Can see Hazard leaving and end up being another one that got away like Shay Givan.

    Gordon is notable because he is an exception. Forster hasn't been good for years and has hardly played, I doubt he'll walk into the team the player he was when he left.

    Might be overreacting a bit but I'm * ecstatic to have him back. Just didn't expect us to do it. Great to see him back home.
