Forster enjoying Celtic spell

15 March 2011 09:30

Goalkeeper Fraser Forster is determined to continue playing first-team football next season after a successful spell on loan at Celtic from Newcastle.

Forster has made 30 Celtic appearances this term and will line-up against Inverness in the Scottish Cup on Wednesday, with Sunday seeing Celtic take on Rangers in the Co-operative Insurance Cup final at Hampden Park.

He told the Scottish Sun: "I just want to be out playing first-team football week in, week out. I'll just have to put in good performances and work hard at training and see where it takes me."

He added: "Celtic's a fantastic club, but we'll just have to wait and see what happens. I'm still Newcastle's player so let's wait until the summer and find what it brings.

"Neil Lennon's been brilliant for me and I'll always be grateful for that. He's a top manager and I want to do well for him."

Forster, who will be 23 on Thursday, is looking for success on Sunday.

He added: "Sunday will be very special with it being an Old Firm cup final.

"It's going to be a massive occasion. Winning the final would rank as my top career moment. But obviously there's a lot of football to be played before then."
