He said [Official Celtic FC podcast]: "I could even feel it was coming from the players on the park as well.
"With the scoreline and the way it was going, I could definitely feel that everyone was egging me on to try and score.
"Hopefully, going into the end of the season, I can try and do that [score].
"I think a few folk have joked when we get a penalty for me to hit it, but I'd hope to score in normal time."
Forrest became the most decorated player in Celtic's history with last Saturday's title triumph, overtaking Lisbon Lion and fellow Ayrshire-native, Bobby Lennox, in the process.
"After the game, I felt a bit emotional," he said.
"Normally, I can hide that quite well, but I think everything - we won the league and everyone was talking about that - it got to me a bit.
"It's a great achievement, and it shows how successful the club has been since I've been here.
"When you start to get a bit older, you're not so sure whether you're going to be in or out of the squad and you don't know whether you're going to be here, so I'm just cherishing every day that I'm here.
"It's a team game. It is a nice achievement, it's great to have. But it's about the players, the staff and my family."
An academy graduate himself, Forrest went down to train with Celtic's youngsters team during the most recent international break.
He said: "In the international break, I trained with the B team. It's boys that are 16 and 17 you're training with, but I think that's maybe good for them that I was training with them, and it's good for me to see the players coming through and what we've got here."
The 33-year-old is in contention for selection as Celtic travel to face Rangers at Ibrox on Sunday.

Lennon Miller 'filled with excitement' as £5m Udinese deal signed and Motherwell net record fee
The young midfielder has completed his move to Italy Lennon Miller has sealed his move to Serie A side Udinese in a record deal believed to be worth around £5m to Motherwell. The deal until 2030 eclipses the £3.25m received from Celtic for David Turnbull in October 2020. Scotland cap Miller and his entire family flew out to Italy yesterday, and celebrated step-mum Maria's birthday today, while the midfielder underwent his medical. Speaking to the club website about his exit, 18-year-old Wishaw ace Miller admitted the Steelmen will hold a special place in his heart, but he is looking forward to a new chapter in his young career. He said: 'Motherwell is all I've ever known. 'It's been my home since I was a young boy, and I've achieved my dream of playing in the first-team, playing in the big stadiums and wearing the armband. 'My thanks goes to all the supporters for taking me in. The support up and down the country every week has been exceptional. For all the coaches I've worked under and who have helped me improve as a player and as a man, thank you. I simply wouldn't be here without their guidance and support. 'To all the players who I've played alongside with, and for all the kind words they've said about me, thank you. My teammates have helped me through everything and allowed me to play with freedom. 'I want to also express my appreciation to all the staff behind the scenes at the club. Some are still there, some have moved on, but they all work so hard to keep the place going. You may not see first-hand the hard work and sacrifices they make, but having been in the building all these years, I can't thank them enough for everything they do. 'This is a new chapter in my life, and I move on filled with excitement. I may not be at Fir Park to cheer on the boys, but I'll be watching and following from afar. The club has a big place in my heart, and I will always be grateful. I wish all the lads the best for the rest of the season. Mon the Well.' Chief Executive Brian Caldwell added: 'The time was right for all parties for Lennon to make the next move in his career,' 'He is an example of the pathway and model that exists at Motherwell and is a huge success story for everyone associated with the club. 'The sell-on included ensures we will be compensated should Lennon go on to a fruitful career beyond this move, something that was crucial for us. 'My thanks go to Lennon for his professionalism throughout this lengthy process, and I hope he goes on to have a successful and healthy career in the game.' The former Coltness High School pupil last played for Motherwell in a 1-1 draw at Ross County on May 18 to end season 2024-25, having picked up a knock in a pre-season friendly against Carlisle United on July 8, missing the whole of the Premier Sports Cup group stages. He scored four goals last term. He joins fellow Scots Lewis Ferguson, Scott McTominay and Billy Gilmour in making the move to Italy.

Celtic aim to 'right the wrongs' of trophyless season
Chloe Craig says Celtic need to "get the fans back on board" as they look to "right the wrongs" of last season in the new SWPL 2024-2025 season was a bitterly disappointing one for the then defending champions as they finished fourth - 15 points behind table-topping Hibs - and failed to win a domestic missed the majority of the campaign after suffering an ACL rupture last September, but the centre-back believes if Celtic "block out the noise" they can return to the heights of previous years despite some notable summer departures."It's been good to get the girls back in and try and make the wrongs right," Craig said."I think it's just about taking the pressure off ourselves. We've not got any pressure on us this season."Of course, Champions League was a big thing for us in terms of the amount of games we played. That's something we don't really have this season and can use to our advantage domestically. But for us, in previous seasons, we've won trophies, we've won the league."It's just about getting that fire back in the belly to go and redo it."I think there's been a lot of noise around the club with either fans or people not liking where it's going or what's happening, stuff like that."So for us, it's proving that we are Celtic, we are good, we're still the club that have won trophies previously."The 31-year-old felt some of last season's woes could be attributed to a lack of experience of being the hunted rather than the hunter. And with women's football developing at a sharp rate, reminding themselves no game is easy is paramount to being added: "When you compare the team now to the team we won the league with it's completely different."But people that come into the team know that they're not just playing for any club, they're playing for Celtic so they know that comes with pressure and high standards."With how the seasons have been going previously, you can't take any game lightly. Every team is good and they'll hit you with surprises in their own ways. "It's just us getting our heads down and trying to get the fans back on board."
