Neil Lennon yet to decide on first-choice keeper ahead of new season

Celtic boss Neil Lennon has hinted that he hasn’t decided as to who will be his first-choice goalkeeper next season, The Scotsman report. 

Lennon currently has both Scott Bain and Craig Gordon available to him, with the Hoops boss using both shot-stoppers in Celtic’s last two fixtures. 

Bain got the nod by Lennon for the Champions League qualifier first-leg against FK Sarajevo last week, while Gordon started at Celtic Park against Rennes on Saturday. 

Bain is set to be handed the gloves yet again on Wednesday night for the second-leg against the Bosnian side, with Celtic holding a 3-1 advantage. 

However, when asked about who is leading the race for the number one spot next season, the Northern Irishman said:

Scott is in pole position but I liked what I saw from Craig at the weekend. 

It looks unlikely that Lennon will delve into the market for a new first-choice keeper, so the Hoops boss will have to decide in the coming weeks as to who to place his trust in ahead of the club’s first league game against St Johnstone on August 3rd.
