Veteran goalkeeper Asmir Begovic is currently training with non-league club Aldershot Town as he contemplates his next career step.
The former Everton and Chelsea shot-stopper has been tipped to join Brendan Rodgers' Celtic side this summer. This comes after Joe Hart, who had been the Hoops' first-choice goalkeeper for the past three years, announced his retirement from professional football at the end of last season.
Celtic have been linked with numerous targets to fill the void left by Hart's departure and bolster their goalkeeping options - but have currently yet to find a replacement.

Begovic's decision to train with Aldershot Town suggests he is keeping his options open and evaluating the best path forward in his career.
The 37-year-old left Queen's Park Rangers, where he featured 46 times last time out, following the expiry of his contract and his next move is expected to be closely watched by Celtic and other interested parties as the new season approaches.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
