Celtic fans react as Conor Hazard signs new Parkhead deal

Plenty of Celtic fans have been giving their thoughts on Wednesday’s official news regarding goalkeeper Conor Hazard. 

The club confirmed that the Northern Irish shot-stopper has agreed a new two-year contract, which will keep him at Parkhead until 2023.

Hazard made his first-team debut earlier this season in a 3-2 Europa League win against Lille. The 22-year-old then enjoyed a solid Scottish Premiership run under Neil Lennon, featuring in five of seven games, conceding just once.

However, since January, Hazard hasn’t featured for the Hoops, with Scott Bain becoming a mainstay in the starting XI.

Hazard’s most memorable Hoops moment to date came at Hampden Park. He played his part in helping the club seal a historic quadruple treble after saving two penalties in the shootout victory over Hearts back in December.
