Newcastle keeper Forster backed for big success at Celtic
Newcastle United goalkeeper Fraser Forster is being backed for success by Celtic.
At 6ft 7in, Forster will become the SPL's tallest player.
Ex-Falkirk striker Darryl Duffy knows all about him.
The Bristol Rovers ace battled Forster every day in training when he was on loan.
And Duffy admits the SPL's strikers will be terrified of his old pal the minute they see his giant frame.
He told the Scottish Sun: "Fraser wasn't with us for long but he was there long enough for us to be impressed by him.
"Every day was a fight in training to get a goal because he was so big. You had to think differently, look for different angles.
"He's not just big though, he's a really good keeper.
"You could see he was coming to us as a stepping stone and I think he'll do really well at Celtic."
