‘Best ever from me,’ reckons James Forrest

James Forrest reckons that this has been his best ever season in the Hoops…

“I think I’ve grown in confidence from last season and kicked on this year. Definitely on a personal note it’s been my best season and I just want to keep contributing to the team, score more goals and keep creating.

“For me, the manager has been different class. He’s brought me so much confidence and, as long as they’re working hard, lets the forward players express themselves. A lot of the boys have kicked on and it’s only good for the team.”

Looking forward to the rest of the season – and in particular Sunday at Paradise the Prestwick Pele had this to say today.

“Every trophy you win for Celtic, the next one is always the best one because it’s now and it’s a feel-good moment. We’re just going to work hard in the next few days building up to the game and hopefully we can do it on Sunday in front of our own fans.

“The confidence for us is sky high. We know what’s at stake and every Rangers game is going to be a hard game. We need to have that respect and make sure that we’re ready to go right from the start.”

The recent Scottish Cup semi final thrashing, Forrest revealed, has not been a talking point in the Celtic dressing room. Indeed he admits that they haven’t even merited a mention.

“If I’m being honest, not at all. We had a game the next week so we just focused on ourselves.

“We’ve got a chance to make history with the league and being in the cup final. Since the manager came in we’ve just kept focusing on ourselves.”
