The former England international has kept clean sheets against both Hearts and Rangers and in their most recent match against Kilmarnock managed to save a penalty.

The Bhoys were 3-1 up at the time thanks to a Ryan Christie strike and a brace from Odsonne Edouard, but Forster ensured that the final minutes were more comfortable by brilliantly denying Alan Power from the spot.
