James Forrest has delivered his verdict on the strength of Celtic's current squad, as he opened up on potential incoming transfers.
The veteran winger spoke to the media at Celtic Park this afternoon ahead of his side's trip to face Aberdeen at Pittodrie this weekend.
"I think every window I've been at Celtic, we've always signed players," he said. "We've signed seven already [this summer]. I think the club have done that every season I've been here.
"The type of club that we are, the fans and everyone want exciting wingers, strikers and attacking players.
"Right now, we've looked good in pre-season, the league started well. We [the players] just let the manager do transfers, and the club. We just work hard.

"There are a couple of weeks left in the window, so we'll just see what happens."
Asked about whether Celtic signing new wingers pushes him on, Forrest said: "Definitely. I've had that question for years now. It does.
"Competition for places is really healthy. I've always enjoyed different players coming in. You can learn off them.
"It's good for the coaches, the amount of games we play, to have good depth in the squad."
Fans have their opinions on whether Celtic's current squad is stronger than it was last season.
Forrest weighed in on the matter: "I think it's always hard to tell," he said. "The manager has mentioned it a couple of times since we've been back. It's always hard to tell when the window is going on.
"You can only give a really good gauge until the window is shut. It's hard to judge just now while the window is open."
