All three matches ended up with green and white ribbons on the trophy and Forrest, pictured, is looking to secure a remarkable 15th senior medal since he came out of the Celtic youth academy.

He said: “I’ve scored in the last three finals and it gives me confidence knowing that in those types of games that I can score goals. Hopefully I can contribute and help the team to victory.

“We know it is going to be a difficult game against Aberdeen and we will not be taking them lightly. We have played them in cup finals and this season as well. Playing in a cup final for Celtic is unbelievable and you just want to make sure you get the win.”

Forrest’s League Cup final goals were scored last season (v Motherwell), 2016-17 (v Aberdeen) and 2014-15 (v Dundee United).
