Neil Lennon has still to finally make a decision over signing Stipe Pletikosa, despite the trialist goalkeeper playing the full game against Cardiff City last night. The Croatia international, who is keen to make a move to Glasgow, was a virtual spectator as Celtic secured a 1-0 friendly win in Cardiff on Wednesday night. Pletikosa was called upon to make just one real save, getting fully behind a 30-yard strike from Joe Mason, and was rarely tested with aerial balls. Lennon is looking for someone to compete with Lukasz Zaluska for the number one jersey with Dominic Cervi currently the understudy following Fraser Forster's return to Newcastle. But Pletikosa looks set to get another chance in one of the four friendlies Celtic play following their SPL opener against Hibs on Sunday.
Lennon said: "The keeper didn't have a lot to do and it would be difficult to sign him on the evidence of that but be will have another look. A short-term contract is a possibility. I want another goalkeeper - we've only got two at the moment. In any scenario I want to bring another goalkeeper in."
