Celtic winger James Forrest has revealed Kieran Tierney was the mastermind behind their "Simply The Best" dressing room celebration. Martin O'Neill's team won the title last season, narrowly defeating Hearts, and took to taunting their city rivals, Rangers, with a rendition of the famous Tina Turner track. Videos of the victorious Celts singing and dancing circulated online. Forrest said: "I think it's just maybe from the fans, like maybe the last year or two. "The Celtic fans have been singing that as well, so it's all good banter as well." Forrest also praised Tierney's role as the team's DJ. "KT always puts the tunes on. He's the DJ at Scotland as well, and then at Celtic, he's always done that." Forrest, who has been with Celtic for 17 seasons, described the last campaign as unprecedented. "It was mental. I've never had a season like that, to be fair, since I've been at Celtic," he said. "I think it's right up there, probably the best league I've won, just with everything. "We'd gone the full year and then, obviously, getting to the last day, having to beat Hearts off the top of the table to win it and then scoring so late on and that as well, it was unbelievable." He added the team showed great unity in the final weeks of the season to secure a Double, despite a few managerial changes.
