Celtic keeper Fraser Hooper determined to make it to Brazil despite Champions League exit

FRASER Forster has vowed to make sure Celtic’s Champions League nightmare does not end his World Cup dream.

Fraser Forster refuses to let his dream of playing in the World Cup be scuppered by Celtic's failure to progress in the Champions League

Forster will not feature in Europe’s top club competition again this season after the Scottish champions crashed out on Tuesday night with a 3-0 home defeat to AC Milan.

Celtic will not even play Europa League football because they are guaranteed to finish bottom of Group H after claiming just three points from five games.

But Forster, who won his first cap against Chile, insists he can still persuade England boss Roy Hodgson to take him to Brazil next summer on domestic form alone.

He said: “There is plenty of time before I need to start worrying about the World Cup - it’s seven or eight months away.

“Can my form up here in Scotland win me a place for Brazil? I don’t see why not. If I show what I can do in the SPL then there’s no reason why it can’t.

“I enjoyed being in the England squad and winning my first cap. But I’m just taking each game as it comes.

“It’s disappointing to be out of Europe altogether. At worst, we hoped to land a Europa slot. But I still think we have proven a lot of people wrong by getting to this stage.
