Celtic will be seeking a new goalkeeper in the upcoming summer transfer window after current No. 1 Joe Hart announced his retirement at the season’s end. One of the initial names linked with the team is Etienne Vaesen from RKC Waalwijk, as reports from the Netherlands suggest that Celtic is interested in the 28-year-old, whose contract expires soon. Vaesen, who has spent his entire career with RKC, is also being monitored by PSV.
Celtic defender Stephen Welsh emphasized that his team is solely focused on winning their upcoming matches without relying on favors from others, as they strive to defend their Premiership title. Despite leading Rangers by a point, Welsh stressed the importance of concentrating on their own performance rather than hoping for assistance from elsewhere.
Hearts forward Alan Forrest remains composed following a recent defeat, highlighting the need for a level-headed approach despite setbacks. With a comfortable lead over Kilmarnock, Forrest emphasizes the importance of maintaining perspective and readiness for upcoming challenges.
Hibs backup goalkeeper Jojo Wollacott expressed readiness to step up as the No. 1 goalkeeper should David Marshall depart at the end of the season. Wollacott, who impressed as a substitute for Marshall in a recent match against Livingston, acknowledges the dynamic nature of football and stands prepared for any opportunity that may arise.
Meanwhile, Rangers loanee Sam Lammers continued his impressive form with Utrecht, scoring for the second consecutive week. Despite his goal contribution in a victory, Lammers reflects on missed opportunities and maintains his hunger for further success with the team.
