The Scotland international has won eight league titles, five Scottish Cups and four League Cups since making his debut in May 2010 - plus was named the PFA Scotland Player of the Year last season.

"I love it here. I came through the youth academy and every year I just enjoy it more," Forrest told Celtic TV.

"I'm absolutely delighted to extend my stay here and I'm looking forward to winning more league titles and cups with the club.

"The last couple of years especially have been unbelievable. When you keep winning trophies it makes you eager and wanting to strive to win more. That pushes you on for more and I want to keep winning as much as I can."
