Celtic-linked goalkeeper Tjark Ernst looks set to head elsewhere.

Martin O'Neill is in need of a keeper to either come in as the undisputed No.1 or to compete with Viljami Sinisalo for the gloves, following Kasper Schmeichel's retirement.

Ross Doohan is the other senior shotstopper on the books and has featured in pre-season.

They've been linked with a number of names, and Ernst is one of the names to have been strongly linked.

The 23-year old has impressed for Hertha Berlin over the past couple of years and several clubs have been taking a look, as well as Celtic.

However, Sky Sports Germany is now reporting that Ernst has decided his next destination and it won't be Parkhead.

It is claimed the German has ‘given the green light’ to a move to Feyenoord and a medical has been scheduled in for this week.

Ernst had a release clause of £4.3 million and the Dutch side have triggered that with a bid.

The Rotterdam outfit are managed by ex-Rangers boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst.
