Celtic fringe star told loan move would be 'perfect' as pundit lays out challenge for starting spot

Alan Hutton believes Celtic outcast Conor Hazard should push for a loan move rather than a permanent Parkhead exit.

Joe Hart is the Hoops' undisputed number one, with Hazard behind Benji Siegrist and Scott Bain in the pecking order to be Hart's deputy. Hazard spent the first half of the season on-loan at HJK Helsinki and was named Goalkeeper of the Year before he returned to the Scottish champions in the winter.

The 24-year-old has only made eight appearances for Celtic since making his debut during a Europa League win over Lille in December 2020. His contract expires in the summer but former Scotland international Hutton thinks Hazard could earn a fresh contract, and be loaned out again rather than cutting ties with Ange Postecoglou's side completely.
