If you’ve found yourself unable to stop watching the breathtaking last minute save made by Fraser Forster on Thursday night, then don’t fear, you’re not alone.
The Englishman’s miraculous stop to deny Danilo Cataldi’s wonderful volley will have been watched around Europe over the past 24 hours. However, some Celtic fans may have become a little bit obsessed with it – going by comments on social media.

Forster save may be the best Celtic Park has seen this century
It’s hard to remember a greater single save from a Celtic goalkeeper in recent years. Craig Gordon has had a few in his time, while Forster already has his own European collection – including a number against Barcelona.
A double save in a 1-0 defeat to the Catalan side in 2013 certainly springs to mind, while so does one from a free-kick in a derby against Rangers at Hampden.
Forster’s predecessor Artur Boruc had his fair share of miraculous saves too. Who can forget his penalty save in the 1-0 win over Manchester United or a fingertip stop to deny AC Milan’s Clarence Seedorf in the San Siro.
All of the above are valid suggestions but you can’t help feel that Forster’s still steals the show. The speed the ball travelled at was something else, and the fact it arrived with one of the last kicks of the game.
It’s no surprise that some Celtic fans can’t stop watching it at all.
