Celtic signing Forster grateful to Southampton

Fraser Forster is delighted with his return to Celtic.

Forster has thanked Southampton for letting him return to Celtic on a season-long loan.

"I hate not playing. I wouldn't have come if I didn't want to play," he said.

“So for me that's the ultimate thing, get playing, get back in the team and then hopefully perform as well.

Forster won an England cap during his last stint with Celtic, and credit Neil Lennon for bringing him back into the fold and giving him hope of one day playing for the national side again,

“I absolutely love playing for (Lennon) and working for him," Fraser said. “He really instils that belief in me."
