Celtic need to sign a new number-one goalkeeper but should renew Joe Hart’s contract.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking exclusively to Football Insider<\/strong>, the former West Ham and Scotland striker Frank McAvennie urged the Hoops to extend Hart’s contract which expires at the end of this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hart moved to Celtic Park from Tottenham in the summer of 2021 and has been the Hoops’ number one since his arrival, making 102 appearances<\/a> in all competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former England international signed a three-year deal and is set to leave Celtic at the end of this season, meaning the club may be in need of a new shot-stopper soon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 21 October,\u00a0Football Insider<\/strong>\u00a0revealed that\u00a0the former England international has entered talks with the club over prolonging his stay in Glasgow.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celtic’s other goalkeepers, Scott Bain and Benjamin Siegrist, have had their issues with ability and injuries respectively, prompting McAvennie to want a new first-choice shot-stopper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, he urged the club to extend Hart’s contract and keep him at Celtic Park as a more dependable backup option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I would think they would [extend his contract]. I would want to see him, but I think we need a number one. I would not have a problem with that one little bit,”<\/em> he told Football Insider<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“For me, having Benjamin Siegrist or Scott Bain, I don’t get that. They’ll come in and do a job. Siegrist is injured too much, he’s never fit. Bain, his confidence might be a bit down. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I just think we need a number one. We can keep Joe Hart for another year.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
