Celtic sign former Aberdeen goalkeeper Ross Doohan on three-year deal

Celtic have signed goalkeeper Ross Doohan on a three-year deal, the club have announced.

The 27-year-old, who came through the ranks of Celtic’s academy, returns to the club after a two-year spell at Aberdeen.

Doohan has also played for Ayr United, Ross County, Dundee United, Tranmere Rovers and Forest Green Rovers.

The keeper also made his Scotland debut in a 4-0 away win over Liechtenstein earlier this month.

Speaking to the club’s website, Doohan said: “I’m over the moon. Coming through the Academy, spending eleven years there and now to be coming back, it’s an amazing feeling.

“It was always the dream to come back. I knew at the starting point of my career that I needed to go away and play games and hopefully the opportunity would come up to come back to the club, which I always wanted to do and thankfully that’s happened now.

“I’m buzzing to get going and to meet all the boys and hopefully it’ll be another successful season for the club.”

The Scottish Premiership champions have already secured the return of Kieran Tierney to the squad, while long-serving goalkeeper Scott Bain left the club to join Falkirk.

Brendan Rodgers added: “I am really pleased that we are bringing Ross back to Celtic. He knows the club so well and has grown up understanding the demands of the club.

“He has gone away, got some great experience, really focused on developing himself at some good clubs, so much so that he has now achieved his first Scotland cap, a great moment for him and his family.

“Ross is a really talented goalkeeper, hungry to achieve more, but he is a humble guy with a tremendous attitude to the game. I am sure he can be a real asset to our squad”.
