James Forrest wants the Celtic new bhoys to experience the thrill of Champions League qualification.
Three years ago Celtic faced a mountain to qualify as they hosted Shakhtar Karagandy trailing 2-0 from the first leg.
Goals from Kris Commons and Georgios Samaras cancelled out the deficit within an hour but it took a last gasp strike from Forrest to book a place in the group phase.
According to the Evening Times Forrest will never forget stroking away from the penalty spot (which will be news to most Celtic fans) and is looking for his new team-mates to share that exhiliration in Israel.
“I think it always gives everyone a boost when you see other players come in,” said Forrest. “You can see the lift that Scott gave us, while Moussa [Demeble] has already scored a few important goals.
“It definitely helps. We all want to see new players. It makes for a lot of competition and keeps everyone on their toes.
“But if we do make it into the group stages of the competition then we will need a good squad because there are so many games.
“It is exciting. Everybody wants to play. The team are playing well. We are confident and we feel as though we are good enough to go up against anyone. Hopefully we get a chance to prove that.
“Our focus just now is in making sure that we get on the plane tonight with a place in the Champions League.
