Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin 'on Celtic transfer wishlist'

Celtic are "interested" in Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin.

This is according to a report from the Daily Record who claim the "Ukraine international is one of several shot-stoppers that the Hoops' scouting team are watching and doing on-going analysis on."

The 24-year-old started the first two games of the season for the Spanish giants but has not played since the arrival of Kepa Arrizbalaga on loan from Chelsea.

Joe Hart's deal at Parkhead is up at the end of the season and the Scottish champions currently have Scott Bain and Benjamin Siegrist as back-up options.

Lunin joined Real Madrid in 2018 but most of his competitive minutes have come while on loan at Leganes, Valladolid and Oviedo.

Meanwhile, Celtic hero Martin O'Neill has fired a warning to new Rangers boss Philippe Clement, saying the Ibrox boss must "win immediately".

The Belgian has joined the Light Blues on a three-and-a-half year deal and O'Neill was keen to address comments the 49-year-old made in his first interview after landing the role.

Clement spoke about things "taking time" at the start of his managerial process and the importance of inputting style of play.

And the former Parkhead manager made clear that Clement must bring instant success otherwise he will be under pressure.

Speaking to talkSPORT, he said: "Just win some football matches. You have to overtake Celtic, it’s as simple as that. That’s what you have to do. 

“You need to do that relatively quickly. That’s the point – none of this, please don’t come in and say ‘you have a three-year plan or I want to see the youth players developed’, which I think he might be able to do. 

“But, no, you have to win. And you win immediately.”
