Neil Lennon has decided that Scott Bain will be Celtic’s No.1 going forward, replacing Vasilis Barkas. The Irishman has said that Barkas, a £4.5m acquisition from AEK Athens, has failed to settle in and his performances have warranted giving Bain another chance to start.
🗣 ‘He’s admitted on a few occasions that he probably hasn’t been at his best.’
Neil Lennon explains Vasilis Barkas decision as he admits he “hasn’t been up to the speed of the game” in Scotland.

Celtic have played three goalies since Craig Gordon and Fraser Forster left. Two players that trained with Forster last season – Scott Bain and Conor Hazard played as makeshift No.1s, replacing Vasilis Barkas who was meant to be the like-for-like replacement. Lennon may be eyeing a new goalkeeper in January… if he is still at the club.
