Neil Lennon calls Fraser Forster 'one of Celtic's best ever goalkeepers'

Celtic manager Neil Lennon says that Fraser Forster is one of the best goalkeepers in the club's history.

Celtic manager Neil Lennon has hailed Fraser Forster as one of the best goalkeepers in the club's history.

Forster, who was handed the Scottish Premiership Player of the Month award prior to his side's 3-0 victory over St Johnstone, racked up his 12th clean sheet in a row to level the 43-year-old record set by former Aberdeen goalkeeper Bobby Clark.

The 25-year-old keeper now has to clock up another 31 minutes against Hearts at Tynecastle next Saturday to beat Clark's record of 1155 minutes without conceding a top-flight goal.

Lennon told reporters after the game: "He can be really proud of what he is doing at the minute.

"It means a lot to him personally. He's got 31 minutes to go and these are great incentives for the players, not just to win the title, but to win it in a certain style.

"He's a fantastic goalkeeper. He's one of the best Celtic have ever had. For him to achieve what he has achieved in such a short space of time, I think, is miraculous."

Forster has one cap for the England national team, which he earned against Chile last November.
