Celtic take on Red Bull Salzburg in Austria on Thursday night, and winger James Forrest is more-than-aware that it will be a tough match-up.

The 'Bhoys' began Europa League proceedings with a 1-0 win over Norwegian side Rosenborg - Leigh Griffiths with the goal. Now, they look to build on the three points as they take on Red Bull Salzburg. 

James Forrest, 27, looked ahead to the encounter: "We've started with one out of one so far in the Europa League so we'll take confidence from that.

"But we definitely know they're going to be a difficult team and they got a good result in their first game as well.

"Every game in Europe, home and away, is always tough so we know we need to be ready right from the start and put in a good performance."
