Southampton signing Forster doesn't regret missing Champions League

Southampton signing Fraser Forster isn't having second thoughts about leaving Celtic.

The Scottish giants were given a Euro reprieve last week despite being beaten by Legia Warsaw in the third qualifying round, but that was not enough to keep England international Forster north of the border.

"I have accepted a new opportunity away from Celtic," said the 26-year-old, who spent four years in Glasgow winning three league titles and two Scottish Cups.

"I know the club wanted me to stay and I know they did everything they possibly can to keep me.

"It has been a brilliant experience, but I felt now was the right time for a new challenge in the English Premier League."
