Celtic know what's at stake against Rangers, says Forrest
The Hoops can win the title with a win against their Old Firm rivals
James Forrest has played down the significance of Sunday's Old Firm clash - despite the fact a win for the Hoops would see them win the title against their rivals.
Defeat to Hibernian last week meant their title party was delayed, but they now have the chance to clinch their seventh successive title at home to Rangers.
Brendan Rodgers' side are currently 10 points clear with four games to play and will be expected to secure the title on Sunday after humbling Rangers 4-0 at Hampden just two weeks ago, but Forrest, who has been nominated for the PFA Player of the Year award, is not bothered who they beat to secure the league.
"We have got a chance to create history and we have winning the league and a cup final to look forward to,'' winger Forrest said.
"Since the manager came in that's what we have done, just focused on ourselves and that's what we will continue to do.''
He added: "Every trophy you win for Celtic, the next one is always the best one because it is 'now' and the feelgood moment at the time.
"We are just going to work hard in the days going up to the game and hopefully we can do it on Sunday in front of our own fans.
"Confidence for us is sky-high, we know what is stake.
"Every Old Firm game is going to be a hard game so we have to have that respect and go in making sure we are ready to go from the start.''
Sixteen goals in all competitions have made this a breakthrough season for Forrest, although he has scored just once in the Ladbrokes Premiership since Christmas.
His future had appeared uncertain before Rodgers' arrival and he has praised the impact of the former Liverpool boss on his own game.
He said: "I've grown in confidence from last season and kicked on this year. On a personal note I think it's been my best season and I just want to keep contributing to the team and keep going and hopefully score a few more and keep creating for the team.
"He (Rodgers) has been different class. He gives you so much confidence and he lets the forward players go and express themselves, as long as they're still working hard.
"A lot of the boys have kicked on in the last couple of years and it's only good for the team.'
