Despite eventually falling out of favour at Ibrox, Forrester was arguably one of Mark Warburton’s better signings but was deemed surplus to requirments after Warburton departed from Glasgow. And he admits it was a career highlight to turn out for the Ibrox club.
He said: "You've got to have thick skin up there. I loved my time there. I didn't like how it ended but that happens when a new manager comes in.
"The fans really took to me which I'll always appreciate. When you do well there you feel like a king in the city but on the flip side, it isn't nice when you aren't doing well. Beating Celtic when we were in the league below them was the highlight.
"It just doesn't get any bigger than the Old Firm and that toughened me up. I keep in touch with Mark [Warburton], he's got a real eye for talent, he brought in Tav [James Tavernier] and he's still the captain at Rangers."
