Newcastle keeper Forster: Celtic season best time of my life

Newcastle United goalkeeper Fraser Forster admits he's enjoyed the best season of his life.

The Geordie has been playing on-loan at Celtic.

"This has been one of the best years of my life, to be honest," he told the Sunday Sun. "Newcastle are my club, the team that I supported as a boy, but Celtic are just absolutely massive.

"I don't think I really realised how big a club it was until I arrived here. And then when I played in my first Old Firm game I probably fully understood what it meant to be Celtic's goalkeeper.

"I remember standing at Ibrox in the last league game with 10,000 Celtic fans behind me singing 'I just can't get enough'. Those games are seriously special, and even better if you win them - like we did in that one.

"It is just invaluable experience for a young goalkeeper. If you're going to go out on loan, you can't ask for two much bigger clubs than the two I've been at recently."
