Biog

London born Goalkeeper Jonathan Gould ( son of English striker Bobby Gould) was signed by Wim Jansen from Bradford City at the start of the 1997 - 1998 season.

Gould was instrumental in the success of the Celtic team in stopping Rangers 10 in a Row, a far cry from Bradford City Reserves where he had been just a year before. Despite injury problems in the 1998-1999 and the arrival of Russian international Dmirti Kharine Gould remained Celtics number 1 goalkeeper until the 2000-2001 season when he was replaced by Robert Douglas.

Gould stayed with Celtic until 2003 when he left to join Craig Brown's Preston North End in the English Championship. Gould is now retired and coaches in the New Zealand league with his father. Gould also played twice for Scotland and was a member of the 1998 World Cup Squad although he was third choice behind Jim Leighton and Neil Sullivan.
