Some Celtic fans have been talking about Fraser Forster and have urged the club to sign him on a permanent basis in the summer.
Forster is celebrating his 32nd birthday and the Celtic Twitter account sent out a post wishing the Englishman well. The post also had multiple images of him celebrating with many Celtic players, apart from making saves.
When the Hoops Twitter account sent out this post, many Celtic fans made their intentions about Forster very clear.
Do Celtic have the money to sign Forster permanently?
Yes, we do
I don't think so
One fan thanked Forster for winning Celtic the League Cup final at the end of last year.

Forster had rejoined Celtic on a loan deal this past summer from Southampton. Since arriving, Forster has made 39 appearances in all competitions for the Hoops, keeping a total of 17 clean sheets during this time. The Englishman has let in 28 goals in all competitions.
He has played every single minute of the Premiership season since his arrival, making 28 appearances and keeping 14 clean sheets.
What do we think?
The fact that Forster has played every Premiership game following his return shows how much Neil Lennon trusts him. He saved penalties in big games against Copenhagen in the Europa League and Rangers in the League Cup final. He also came up with an impressive performance against Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico, picking up a Whoscored rating of 7.79 on the day.
It shows that he is a crucial player for Celtic – and on that basis, making his temporary deal a permanent one will be sensible if the Hoops can afford to do so.
