Former Rangers striker Ally McCoist has said the next three games for Nottingham Forest will be "vital" to determine their Premier League survival hopes.
Forest have seen a turn in form since the start of the campaign, picking up vital home wins against Liverpool, Leicester City, Leeds and Crystal Palace while, holding Chelsea and Manchester City to a draw. However, their form away from home has not been so consistent, having lost to Fulham and West Ham in recent weeks.
Steve Cooper's side are 13th after picking up six wins this season, leaving them four points away from the relegation zone. A string of positive results in the coming weeks could be the difference for the Reds to boost their survival hopes.

Speaking on the talkSPORT breakfast show, McCoist said: "I think all the way up to 13th and Nottingham Forest. If we look at Forest, the next three or four games for them are going to be absolutely vital.
"They’ve got the ability to pick up points at home. But next up it’s Everton at home, Tottenham away and Newcastle at home. They’re vital for them."
