James Forrest has promised that Celtic will not ease up in their pursuit of the Scottish Premier League title.

A 2-0 win over Dunfermline on Wednesday night put the Hoops 20 points clear of Rangers, with ten games left to play in the 2011/12 season.

Forrest grabbed his side’s second goal against the SPL’s bottom club, extending his team’s run to 19 wins on the bounce.

With third placed Motherwell now just three points behind Rangers in second, the winger says his team will continue their fine form, despite their cushion.

"The gaffer knows the boys in the team won't let the 20 points get to our heads," said Forrest.

"We still need to go and keep winning every game and that is what we are trying to do and hopefully it continues.

"We are taking each game as it comes and we need to get the three points on Saturday again.

"We knew it was going to be a hard game against Dunfermline and it was the same as at the start of the season when we beat them 2-1.

"If you don't score early then they will make it tough for you."
