Celtic winger James Forrest has maintained that Celtic's back-to-back Treble win was a celebration for everyone associated with the club.

The 26-year-old was part of the Hoops convoy who made their way back to Celtic Park via Dalmarnock and an open-top bus, an experience that he will become the enduring image of the celebrations.

“We have a lot of fans working at the club and it’s great for them as well – no-one has seen this before in their lifetime; it’s brilliant," he said. "Even getting the open-top bus was a first for us and that was brilliant as well.

“The timing was great as well, what with the skipper having his testimonial on Sunday. He was hoping it would go well at Hampden for the club but also for his day and he deserved it to turn out the way it did.

“This has never been done before. We’ve had to be at the top of our game to do that for two seasons and it’s taken a lot of hard work. This is unbelievable for everyone at the club.”

Forrest earned his 14th senior medal with Celtic at the weekend but in keeping with Rodgers' own drive for continued success, he is keen to keep at it.

The Parkhead side had barely time to shower and change on Saturday than they were being asked about the potential for a treble treble, something that will doubtless provide the narrative when the new campaign gets underway.

“Quite a few people have mentioned that already and, when we report back for pre-season training, that’s what everyone will be wanting," said Forrest. "We now know how difficult it is to earn that but we’ll just need to make sure that we keep working hard.

“This year winning the league was much harder for us – we drew a few games and lost a few as well, which proved that. It also shows what a great achievement this is and how high the standards we’ve set ourselves are since the manager came in. We’re all absolutely buzzing with how things have gone since then.

“However, we want to keep kicking on. That’s what the manager said to us last year – ‘How do you better the Invincibles season?’ but I think we’ve managed to do that because we’ve made history now and that’s incredible.

“The way the gaffer is, he’ll come back again in the summer and want our standards to be raised even further. He told us that, after his first season, we could have gone a little soft after doing so well and maybe we haven’t always done as well as we could but it’s another clean sweep and that’s amazing.”

For the meantime, though, it is a chance for Celtic to down tools for a month before the serious business of qualifying for the Champions League starts again.

"We’ll have a few weeks now to rest but also to prepare for coming back pre-season, which is always tough," said Forrest. "This year we also have an extra two Champions League qualifiers to play. So we’re loving this at the moment but we’ll be ready when next season comes.

“The body needs time to recover. It’s been 50-odd games for a lot of us but, as the manager tells us, that’s what happens when you’re successful. Everyone wants to be involved in cup finals and you’re happy to stay on for that extra week to do that.

“Days like Saturday make it all worthwhile and that’s what we’ll be aiming to do again next season.”
