Benjamin Siegrist ready for Celtic No1 fight with Joe Hart as he shuts down Rangers transfer question

Benjamin Siegrist insists he is ready to battle Joe Hart to be Celtic's No1 goalkeeper following his free transfer from Dundee United.

The Swiss shotstopper has put pen to paper on a four-year deal as he looks to compete with the former England international and Scott Bain for the gloves in Ange Postecoglou's side. He becomes the third permanent arrival at the club this summer following Daizen Maeda's permanent switch after his initial loan and the capture of Cameron Carter-Vickers on a full time basis after impressing during his stint from Tottenham last season.

Interest was high in Siegrist after an impressive four years at Tannadice but it was Celtic who won the race for the 30-year-old who believes he is in the spot for his career. And while he knows there are no guarantees in football he is confident in his own ability as he looks to dislodge Hart - who he admits he is 'buzzing' to work alongside.
