Celtic winger James Forrest feels his side are high on confidence ahead of the Scottish Cup final against Motherwell following a run of good performances.

Forrest said: "Since the manager has come in, every time we have played there we have won and that gives us great confidence going into the game on Saturday.

"He has always said that Hampden will suit us, it is a big pitch so go there and play the way we play every other pitch.

"You know when you are at Hampden you are in a final or semi-final and that's where you want to be. If we turn up with the right attitude, hopefully we can do it.".

Forrest has seven Scottish Premiership titles, three Scottish FA Cups as well as three League Cup trophies to his name.

"If we can do it on Saturday that would just top it off. It would be an incredible achievement."
