Fraser Forster in hunt for Celtic respite as keeper issues Rennes rallying cry

Determined Fraser Forster wants Celtic to cement top spot in their group so they can put the Euro campaign on the back burner until next year.

The Hoops can win Group E with a game to spare if they beat Rennes and Cluj lose to Lazio .

And with a congested December schedule also to be negotiated at home the keeper has urged his Celtic team-mates to make life as easy as possible for themselves.

Forster, 31, said: “From that first game against Rennes we’ve really delivered in the European matches.

“We’re in a fantastic position. Now we just want to go out and win the group and finish it off well.

“It would be great if we could do that in our final home game and kind of park it until after Christmas.

“It’s been a fantastic run of games in the Europa League and some fantastic performances.

“If you’d said at the start we were going to go and beat Lazio twice, people probably wouldn’t have believed it. The manner that we did it as well made it extra special.

“I think we’ve done very well up until now, but we want to finish the job now and win the group.”
