On trial: Pletikosa has joined up with Celtic [LNB]Celtic manager Neil Lennon is set to bring in Croatia goalkeeper Stipe Pletikosa on trial. [LNB] However, Lennon remains keen on Scotland goalkeeper Craig Gordon and is comfortable with current No 1 Lukasz Zaluska. [LNB] Pletikosa will train with Celtic following an unhappy loan spell with Harry Redknapp's Tottenham from Spartak Moscow. [LNB] The 32-year-old made just one Spurs appearance during his season at White Hart lane. [LNB]Lennon said: 'Harry Redknapp was raving about Pletikosa so we'll have a look at him.'[LNB] Gordon has a year left on his Sunderland deal and has been told he will have to win back the jersey when he returns from knee surgery.[LNB] Lennon has admitted the former Hearts player might be out of Celtic's price range. [LNB] On the sidelines: Crocked Gordon will be out of action until October [LNB]Lennon said: 'The problem with Gordon is he's not fit until October but we can still make an enquiry. [LNB]'He's a quality keeper and he's on our list.'[LNB] But Lennon added: 'I'd have no qualms about starting the season with Lukasz. He's ready. [LNB]'It was a step up when (Artur) Boruc left and he didn't handle that as well as we would have liked. [LNB]'We've spoken to him and explained that was a disappointment to us but he looks a lot more assured and confident now and physically he is a lot better.'[LNB]  Stipe blast for Spurs boss Redknapp and Pavlyuchenko weighs in tooPletikosa set to leave Tottenham in search of first-team football [LNB] [LNB]
