    If we win SC then CalMac will have won a trophy every 21 games which is better average than Broony and Cesar

    It’s amazing that Forrest (467) has to play just less than 1 season to get into top 20 and CalMac (420) has to play 1 1/2 seasons to get into top 20

    Forrest realistically should have played way more games for us if it wasn’t for his injuries and spells of bad form. Could be on an incredible number if so

    With CalMac signing the new contract even if he plays every possible match he will only get to 4th in the list.
    He would need to add another 2 seasons at least to get top of list

    If Celtic get to both domestic finals and CalMac plays in them all plus CL GS matches that will be another 51 matches this season which would put him 24th on the list.
    However unlikely, if Forrest does the same he will be 14th on the list

    With the amount of games still to play this season it’s possible that CalMac could catch up with Forrest this season

    If CalMac plays every domestic game up until our game against the Huns in December he will move to 26th spot.

    If CalMac plays next 8 games, then at Celtic Park against St Mirren on Nov 1st he will overtake another Lisbon Lion the Late Great Tommy Gemmell to move into 27th spot only 3 spots behind Forrest.

    There are only 4 Lisbon Lions left ahead of CalMac on the list.
    Bobby Murdoch, Jimmy Johnstone, Bobby Lennox and our greatest Captain Billy McNeill

    Assuming we get to Scottish Cup final but get knocked out of CL GS and CalMac plays all games and Forrest doesn’t play any then CalMac will equal Forrest on 470

    After tonight, if CalMac plays next 4 matches he will equal Late Great Celt, Lisbon Lion Tommy Gemmell against Atletico Madrid at Celtic Park.

    In the whole 135 year history of Celtic there have only been 17 players who have played 500 or more competitive matches for the club.
    James Forrest is 28 matches away from reaching that milestone and CalMac is 70 away.

    Forrest needs 25 matches to reach 500 and CalMac needs 68.
    Unless injured maximum this season CalMac may achieve would be 469 unless we finish 3rd in CL which mean’s possibly 475
