Don’t think there’s ever been a better performance from a keeper in the old firm derby than big Frasers at hampden 1-0 to Celtic .. We were outplayed and the big man saved the day it was unreal I’ve never been so full of adrenaline in my life I watched that game with hands over ma face . It had everything down to 10 men big fraz saved a penalty it was crazy .. Never forget it thanks for the memories big man 👏🏼

Celtic were so bad that day. In fairness it was rangers stopped Celtic from playing. It felt like nothing would go past ff that day, even the penalty I was sure he was going to save it. Can’t be many games where the performance of one individual decided the outcome of a game as much as that day.

[@kieranbeattie194]

Ronaldinho in the Barca 2012 team is a howler of a shout 😂

[@Mantis_Toboggan_MD.]

His best performance in a Celtic jersey was the 2019 League Cup final vs rangers. Celtic won 1-0 and played most of the 2nd half with ten men. Big Fraser saved a penalty and made several more great saves, came for crosses etc... A true MOTM performance. It was also a very cathartic experience for Celtic fans who had lived though the 1990's and had experienced so many derbies where Celtic had dominated the game but had been unable to score due to Andy Goram's heroics in goal for rangers

@andrewmay1299 you could have googled it yourself but here’s the quote "The performances of Fraser Forster against us were talked about for a long time," Messi said in 2015, despite scoring late in the game. "There was one game in Scotland where he was not human, it is the best goalkeeping performance I have seen. “When Victor Valdes said he was leaving we even talked about him playing here. I was sure he would end up at Arsenal, Chelsea or Manchester United," Leo added.

FOUR STRIKERS CELTIC SHOULD TARGET THIS SUMMER! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🌟 GUESS WHO’S BACK! It’s been a long, LONG time since I’ve done a transfer targets post, so it’s way overdue! Let’s’s kick things off in style… We all know a striker to compete with Kyogo is a priority this summer. Oh hasn’t been anywhere near consistent enough since joining 18 months ago and Adam Idah quite simply isn’t good enough. Here are four realistic strikers Celtic should be targeting this summer… 🇲🇰 | Bojan Miovski Age: 24 Club: Aberdeen FC 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Transfermarkt: €2.5M 💰 PRO’S ✅ * 24 years-old * 6’2 * Powerful with a great ability to hold up play and link others around him * INCREDIBLE finisher on his left * Deceptively quick * Brilliant work ethic * The most “sure thing” striker we could buy as he has already shown he thrives in Scottish football * Good fitness record with very few injuries * North Macedonian 🇲🇰 International CONS ❌ * VERY expensive - Talk of fees as high as £10M PLUS add-ons Rumours? Celtic 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, Southampton 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, Feyenoord 🇳🇱 🇧🇷 | Anderson Lopes Age: 30 Club: Yokohama F. Marinos 🇯🇵 Transfermarkt: €1.8M 💰 PROS ✅ * GOAL MACHINE - Already scored 11 goals (+2 assists) in 18 games so far this season between J-League (5) & AFC Champions League (6) despite only starting HALF the games! (22 goals in 34 last J-League season) * Good physical strength * Comfortable on either foot * INCREDIBLY marketable being both Brazilian and playing in Japan - would do wonders for our international profile * ZERO financial risk as only contracted until January 2025 (8 months left) * Scored against Celtic nine months ago in pre-season friendly whilst generally having a very impressive performance * Has the aura to become a cult hero CONS ❌ * 30 years-old * Lacks pace/mobility compared to other strikers on this list * Never played in Europe before so would potentially need time to adapt Rumours? ❌ 🇯🇵 | Yuito Suzuki Age: 22 Club: Brøndby 🇩🇰 Transfermarkt: €900k 💰 PROS ✅ * 22 years-old * Good goalscoring record - 7 goals & 6 assists in 20 games so far this season (only started 42% of league game) * OUTRAGEOUS finishing ability from any range * Incredible “weaker” foot * Fast * Tireless work ethic * Japanese 🇯🇵 international * Celtic having five Japanese players already at the club would likely help him settle at Celtic quicker than at any other club * Very marketable being Japanese CONS ❌ * Likely be expensive due to contract until 2027 plus potential POTY form * Lacks size and physicality Rumours? ❌ 🇧🇷 | Matheus Saldanha Age: 24 Club: FK Partizan 🇷🇸 Transfermarkt: €8M 💰 PROS ✅ * 24 years-old * 6’1 * GOAL MACHINE - 16 goals & 5 assists in 22 appearances in the Serbian SuperLiga so far this season despite only starting 67% of games! * Physical * Experience of playing in big atmospheres and dealing with high pressure playing in Belgrade (VERY similar city to Glasgow in sense two teams from the same city dominate the league) * Very marketable being Brazilian CONS ❌ * Likely expensive (€6-8M) * Only impressive season at 24 years-old * Poor goal scoring record in Europe (1 goal & 0 assists in 4 Europa Conference League matches this season) Rumours? Fenerbahçe 🇹🇷
