Conor Hazard could leave Celtic on loan again as Dundee eye return for keeper

Dundee are keen to land Conor Hazard back on-loan from Celtic for their Premiership return.

The Northern Ireland international had a successful loan at Dens Park in the 2019-20 season.

Dundee boss James McPake tried to get him back for the last campaign but Hazard was handed a new contract and also got a run in the Celtic first-team.

Celtic struggled for a consistent No. 1 with Vasilis Barkas failing to live up to his big-money price tag and Scott Bain also was in and out.

New boss Ange Postecoglou has come in but he is likely to bring in a new keeper with Brighton’s Matt Ryan a top target.

That could knock Hazard further down the pecking order and he is at an age where he needs first-team football.

Celtic are aware of Dundee’s interest and could strike a deal once Postecoglou nail’s down his own No.1.

If Hazard did travel north again he would have to fight it out with Adam Legzdins for the gloves.

The Englishman was impressive in helping Dundee to win promotion.

Meanwhile, Dundee goalkeeping coach Bobby Geddes has left the club.

The Dark Blues confirmed the legend had left following the expiry of his contract.

Geddes, who served the club for 26 years as a player and coach, is a part of the club’s Hall of Fame.

A club statement read: ‘Dundee Football Club can confirm that Bobby Geddes has left the club following the expiry of his contract.

Bobby has held the position of Goalkeeping coach at the club for 15 years. ‘He spent 10 years of his playing career at Dens and in 2016 was voted into the Dundee FC Hall of Fame with a Special Recognition Award. ’We would like to thank Bobby for his efforts while with the club and wish him all the best for the future.’
