Celtic winger James Forrest spoke of his unquenchable thirst for success after picking up his seventh Ladbrokes Premiership winner's medal on Sunday.

A 1-0 home defeat to Aberdeen thanks to an Andrew Considine strike was not the result boss Brendan Rodgers wanted in the champions' final league game of the season and ahead of the William Hill Scottish Cup final against Motherwell at Hampden Park next Saturday.

However, that disappointment was quickly put aside as the Celtic fans celebrated the club's seventh successive title after the game.

Former Hoops youth player Forrest, who has been at the club the whole time during the period of domestic dominance, is looking for more success.

The 26-year-old Scotland international said: “Obviously the day when the title win was was confirmed against Rangers was a big day, but it was good to get our hands on the trophy and we can look forward to next Saturday now.

“When you play with Celtic you always get it drummed into you, you want to win things and that is the seventh league title. It is incredible.

“We obviously have the cup final next week that we want to win and it starts again next season, you want to get as much as you can.

“When you get one, you know how good it is. You put the hard work in, it is definitely worth it and it drives you on for more.

“Obviously we were wanting to put on a show in the last home game for the fans.

“It wasn't to be but we have had a really good season and we are not going to be too downbeat about that.'
