Forster not prepared to be back up

The 22 year old moved from Newcastle to Parkhead on loan in an attempt to gain some first team experience.

“I’ve said all along, even when I was at Norwich, that I wanted to be playing football. I don’t like sitting on the bench,” he said.

“I’m here to provide competition and I aim to be number one. I’m going to work as hard as I can and hopefully prove to the gaffer I should be playing.

“I’ve got to prove week in, week out, if I’m playing, that I’m worthy of the shirt.

“It was a very different experience last year (at Norwich) where the pressure is on and everyone wants to beat you.

“Obviously here is a much bigger scale but it’s all about winning games and it’s fantastic to get the chance to come to a big club where you are expected to win every week.”
