Nottingham Forest are looking to get themselves back into the Premier League at long last at the end of this campaign, with them looking good for a play-off spot at the very least.

The Reds have been strong this season, and getting back to where they feel they belong will be worth the current wait.

Here, though, with the aid of transfermarkt we're looking at players that have got the better of the Reds over the years - with several coming in the top flight.

Let's look at them now...

Le Tissier would have been feared by most sides given the natural talent he possessed.

In nine games he scored eight goals against Forest and weighs in at ninth in this list.

Rudy Gestede perhaps hasn't always shown what he can do but against Forest he certainly has.

In ten games against them, he has scored eight and set another goal up.

John Aldridge played eight and scored eight against Forest with the former Liverpool striker in his pomp in the late 80s for one of the most successful Reds sides.

Peter Lorimer was a class act and features highly here - he scored eight goals in seven appearances against the Reds.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer only played 5 times against Forest during his time as a player but he scored eight goals against them - giving him the best goals to game ratio on this list.

Ross McCormack was one of the most prolific attackers at one point in the second tier.

He's scored eight against Forest and set-up a further three.

Matej Vydra hit nine goals against Forest and set-up a trio of goals - with his Derby connections surely making him one of the least popular on this list.

Alan Shearer probably features highly on most side's feared lists given the amount of goals he scored.

In nine appearances against Forest, he scored ten times.

Ian Rush played against Forest more than most with Liverpool and the Tricky Trees clashing frequently for top honours for a period.

The Liverpool legend hit 10 goals against Forest during his playing days, more than any other player.
