Celtic remains keen on beating Arsenal to the signature of Mat Ryan and they have plotted an ambitious plan to make that happen.
The Hoops have targeted the Australian in the last few weeks after making former Australia boss, Ange Postecoglou their new manager.
Ryan was his number one when he managed the Aussie national team and wants a reunion.
The Brighton goalie spent the second half of this season on loan at Arsenal and he was in impressive form.
He proved to be a better backup goalkeeper compared to Alex Runarsson and Arsenal wants to sign him permanently.
The Gunners remain keen on bringing him back on a permanent transfer from next season.
Although Celtic can offer him European football, they still feel that might not be enough to persuade him to sign with them and they have devised a plan.
Football Insider says they have plans to give him their number one shirt and to offer him a long-term contract as an incentive to join them.
It remains unclear if the Aussie would want to leave England, but he knows he would be a backup at Arsenal and that could see him accept a transfer to Celtic instead of the Emirates.
Mikel and Edu should hurry up and get their arse’s in gear if they want to land any players before the start of the season, and that includes Matt Ryan cause when he had to he deputised for Bernd Leno brilliantly!!!!¡!!!!! 🥅🥅🥅⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆👑👑👑👑 👑 👑 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
I doubt he wants to return as a number 2 again, wouldn’t blame him for choosing celtic or another club over us. Sergio Romero would a great option as back up though
I agree
Ryan will be considered his career first and foremost- and rightly too
SueP, because Mat Ryan has fulfilled a boyhood dream to play for Arsenal, unlike Martinez he might be prepared to stay in London and fight Leno for the #1 spot.
However, if Arsenal show no interest he would be mad not to go to Glasgow Celtic.
