Bhoys keeper hoping backline stays intact

Celtic's on-loan keeper Fraser Forster is hoping Neil Lennon can start naming a settled backline. Injuries and loss of form have forced Lennon to tinker with his back four on an almost game-by-game basis. And with stand-in skipper Charlie Mulgrew recovered from an ankle knock, there could be changes again for Saturday's SPL clash with Hibernian. Forster, who in his second spell on loan from Newcastle, admits it is not an ideal situation but knows there is little that can be done.

Ideal

"Ideally you would want to try to keep the same back four as much as you can," he said. "But we have had a lot of injuries this season and the back four has changed so much but whoever has come in to play has done a terrific job. "Thomas Rogne came in on Wednesday night and was absolutely superb. "We didn't have the injuries last season but things change in football and you have to get on with it and do your best."
