    Its been my opinion since last season he wont make the Celtic first team on a regular basis, many dont.
    Good luck to the ghuy but thats how I see it.
    I remember many saying the young Japanese player Misuno was going to be great, well I saw him in a few games with the Japanese under 21s, and said he wont make it at Celtic, said the same about O`Dea, and the young ghuy Sno was that his name, and I was not wrong!

    Forrest is an excellent talent he has a lot to offer the team, Lenny rates him very highly, there is no way he will be going out on loan.

    Huh??

    He is already an established member of the squad and but for injuries would have had more appearances last season.

    Not quite the full article yet, but going in the right direction.

    I'm still at odds about him, impressed sometimes, disappointed on other occasions. Biggest problem is consistency and i think that will come as he gets older, if he wants to oust one of the players for a wide position then he needs to improve his tracking by a bit, the way celtic play can leave us open and id would like to see improvement in that area. if he can do that then im sure he will continue to be very important for celtic in the next few years as he continues to progress.

    he will need to stay clear of injuries imo already had a few in his short career but that comes with the step up to top flight football still young and a lot of people who get on his back sometimes forget that we as fans want the finished article to step out of the youths it just doesnt happen like that but this season is a biggy for him i think if he can get in the team and kick on

    If not a first team pick then he's a very good option to bring off the bench, let us continue to benefit from his development, not another club.

    Quality back-up at the moment. I think he will make it in the long run, he has all the attributes you could wish for.

    Forrest is already better than Templeton in my opinion, has better pace and crossing ability.
    Both had similar years last year started well and then tailed off towards the end of the season but that happens to most young players. Forrest is also around three years younger than Templeton so I would say he is the much brighter prospect.
    Bringing Templeton in wouldn't make much business sense either because Hearts would hold out for a ridiculous amount of money and our team is well covered in wide areas

    really like him, really raw talent and doesnt act like a future star. its asif he's just playing sunday league the way he takes it in his stride and doesnt get phased by anything.

    Thought he was very impressive with the time he had yesterday. Is it just me or has he bulked up a bit also?

    I think he's going to push Commons all the way for his starting berth.

    thought he was superb when he came on. one of his best attributes is his crossing. always gets a good ball into the box.
