This was a rather strange piece to write. On one hand the headline seems to suggest that Celtic are about to sign a “bargain” goalkeeper (I’ll give you a hint, they are not) but on the other hand the ex pro concluded his pointless interview by making silly assertions on Celtic’s financial muscle.

Speaking to the Football Insider, Gabby Agbonlahor, was giving his views on Celtic and their goalkeeping dilemma,  “It’s not a good sign when three goalkeepers play in a season. If there’s one available I’m sure they’ll be looking to get them.

“You just don’t know what funds Celtic have available. Rangers have been very clever and tidy with their signings. 

Should Leigh Griffiths get another year at Celtic?

YES

NO

NO

“Celtic are going to have to go down the same route and get some little bargains because I’m sure the money isn’t there.”

With the Hoops still not knowing who their number one keeper is with only three games left of the season, the former Aston Villa striker does have a good point and Celtic need to make that position a serious priority in the summer.

With the sale of several of Celtic’s top stars pretty much guaranteed when the transfer window opens in a couple of months time, there will no doubt be plenty of money available to rebuild the squad.

But it is whether or not the Parkhead powerbrokers use that cash to offset the losses gained caused by the COVID pandemic, or make every penny available to the new manager whenever he is appointed.
