    CELTIC are considering a move for Aberdeen’s out-of-contract goalkeeper Ross Doohan.

    Entering the final 12 months of his Parkhead contract current third choice Scott Bain could go in search of first team football after the Scottish Cup Final and Doohan features on a list of potential replacements.

    Obliged to name eight homegrown Scots in their Champions League squad under UEFA regulations, four of the players must stem from a club’s own youth system. A graduate of Celtic’s Lennoxtown academy Doohan spent seven years at the champions between 2015 and 2022 and, after 18 first team appearances for Jimmy Thelin’s side this season, ticks the boxes.

    Signed from Forest Green Rovers in 2023 the 27-year-old deputised for Pittodrie number one Dimitar Mitov, but was displaced for the Scottish Cup semi-final win over Hearts

    Doohan’s Pittodrie deal is due to expire in the summer with Thelin on record as saying that the contract talks are ongoing. Herald Sport understands, however, that Aberdeen are working on signing at least one keeper this summer, with third pick Tom Ritchie also set to depart the club. Ironically, Doohan’s final game for the club could come against Celtic in the Scottish Cup Final Hampden on May 24.

    Yeah! We'd need someone not dissimilar to Bain, knowing they'd only get called on infrequently and it'd be high pressure when they are... Making them another homegrown for Europe is a big bonus! :50:

    He wouldn’t just be league trained like Bain he would be club trained too. If Bain wants to go it would make sense.

    Unrelated but I actually wonder if there might be something in the Ajer chat, as he counts as club trained because we signed him when he was 16 and played here for us and Killie for more than 3 years before his 21st birthday. He seems to have lost his spot at Brentford to that new young guy who is tearing it up.

    I don't particularly rate him, but he's far better than Bain and would help with the homegrown quota.

    I don't think he is good enough for Celtic. I think Bain is better even.
