Dundee United have signed Celtic goalkeeper Ross Doohan on an emergency loan after Benjamin Siegrist was ‘likely’ ruled out for the rest of the season.
The Arabs number one has been outstanding for Micky Mellon’s side this season and has attracted transfer links to teams such as Celtic. But a recent fracture has forced Mellon into securing a new goalkeeper ahead of today’s Scottish Cup fifth round tie with Aberdeen.
A statement reads: “Dundee United has signed Goalkeeper Ross Doohan from Celtic on an emergency loan. The 23-year-old enjoyed a successful loan spell at Ayr United where he made 80 appearances over two campaigns in the Scottish Championship between 2018-2020.
“He then joined Ross County on loan at the beginning of this season and made five appearances. Ross will join Deniz Mehmet in the squad for Sunday’s Scottish Cup tie at Aberdeen.
“The Club acted after it was confirmed that Benji Siegrist is likely to miss the remainder of the season due to a fracture picked up during the warm up in the Scottish Cup win over Forfar, with Jack Newman also unavailable after a knee injury he sustained back in January.”
