It’s not even November yet and another pundit it talking about Celtic and who the club should sign if the opportunity arose.

67 Hail Hail discussed this morning how Peter Grant said Celtic should look to sign Lennon Miller after the Motherwell youngster continued his superb form for the club.

But this time it’s different. This time Chris Sutton is telling one player who is currently unhappy at his club to leave them and make his big move to Celtic if he gets the chance to do so.

Celtic spent months finding a replacement for Joe Hart and Sutton believes that should Kasper Schmeichel go at the end of the season, Liverpool’s Caoimhin Kelleher should be the man to replace him.

Chris Sutton wants Caoimhin Kelleher to join Celtic

Caoimhin Kelleher has been linked to Celtic on numerous occasions over the last 12 months or so. However, the Liverpool goalkeeper’s price tag was too much for the Hoops and the Irishman still remains at Anfield.

Out of contract in 2026 and still out of the Liverpool team, Sutton has told Kelleher to make the move to Paradise to revive his flailing career.

Sutton told It’s All Kicking Off [26m 27s], “I mean, he could move anywhere, couldn’t he, really?

“He’s the best back-up keeper, I think, I’ve ever seen in the Premier League. Celtic. That won’t happen at Celtic, but because of his Irish roots, Celtic.

“Well, after Kasper [Schmeichel] goes, if he goes, not that I hope he goes at the end of the season, he may stay.”

What’s previously been said about Caoimhin Kelleher joining Celtic

It seems that Kelleher’s name is simply not going to go away as pundits and reports continually put his name alongside Celtic.

So here is what has been said previously about Kelleher moving to Paradise over the last few months. A report said Kellher was ‘tempted’ by the Celtic move despite being called at £15m in June.

Kelleher has also spoken about his future amid Celtic links and has said, “I love the club [Liverpool], I love the fans and I have a great relationship with the players and the staff.

“Whether it’s here at Liverpool or somewhere else, I do feel the next step for me is to be a No 1.”

And Gary Gillespie has also said that the issue Celtic have if they want Kelleher is that the money on offer down south from smaller teams could blow the Hoops out of the water.

Will the Republic of Ireland international make the move north of the border? You can never say never in this day and age especially as Celtic are in good financial health.
