James Forrest says the victory over Hamilton on Wednesday night made Celtic "feel good" about themselves following the draw with Hibernian at the weekend.

Forrest scored his 11th goal of the season as the Hoops beat the Accies 3-1 to extend Brendan Rodgers' team's unbeaten domestic run to 69 matches

"It was really important after Sunday that we got the three points and scored a few goals and to feel good about ourselves again," said Forrest.

"They came out and made it hard for us and once they scored, it was important we got back ahead again pretty quickly and we managed to do it, which was good."

Celtic have five games remaining before the end of December, which come ahead of the winter break, but Forrest has no concerns with fatigue.

The Scotland winger added: "We have a strong squad in every position and the manager knows he can rotate it. We have five games to go in December and we are just looking at the next game and feeling confident for that."
