CELTIC are poised to swoop for Israeli keeper Dani Amos.
Hoops chief scout John Park flew to watch Amos, 25, train with his national team this week.
The No1 has been outstanding as his club Kiryat Shmona have raced 14 points clear at the top of the Ligat Ha'al.
Amos is in line to land the Player of the Year award after conceding just 12 goals in 27 matches.
That alerted Parkhead bosses and Park went to last night's friendly where Israel lost 3-2 to Ukraine, but Amos was a substitute.
South-African born Amos also has an EU passport, which appeals to Celtic.
We told yesterday how the Hoops were also keeping a check on Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper Raul Fernandez.
They are preparing for a summer keeper swoop as the chances of keeping on-loan Newcastle star Fraser Forster appear to grow slimmer by the day.
Forster was omitted from Stuart Pearce's England squad for their friendly with Holland last night.
And he may be eyeing a move back down south in the summer to improve his national team chances.
