James Forrest

Tremendous servant to the club.

Just imagine for a second the first proper 4/5 years of his professional career wasn’t blighted by injury.

Still won’t get the respect he deserves from some.

Thought he was excellent when he came on today.

 

I really hope he doesn't go to retire at another club. You rarely get one club players anymore at this level.

 

100% mate. Guys like Forrest, Broony and McGregor aren’t as flash as some of the players that get hero worshipped and * off after 2 seasons. He’s been tremendous for us.

 

Love wee shooders, my missus favourite player and she is gonna be gutted when he hangs his boots up.

 

When he ran past those players at the end to get the corner, was like seeing him in his Rodgers days, great option to have and wouldn’t mind seeing him getting some more minutes against Livingston

 

Difficult that mate. Even the best players in the world will need to lower their ambitions the older they get. Of course he could just retire at 34/35 but players like Forrest could go another year or two at a lower level, easily.

 

As one of his biggest critics and someone I thought was completely finished at Celtic and hes proving me wrong.

But I reckon the reason for this is Ange is using him correctly.. he's getting the proper minutes at this stage of his career and its paying off. I also think Broony coukd of got a another season if he was managed correctly...

 

He should be getting more game time. He's only 31 - he's being treated like he's 35 and past it. The only wide player ahead of him is Jota. The other spot should be between him, Abada and Hacksa and there's not much between them. Maeda isn't a winger for me - he should be an option through the middle but he's not on the same level as the others as a wide player.

 

Haksa is streets ahead of them all imo. Forrest is nowhere near him.

 

I said to my uncle the day when he came on. He looked like he was a yard faster than hes been in years. Great option off the bench with his experience, but hes no a LW.

 

I agree he has the potential to be streets ahead but not quite fully shown it consistently yet for me . He can also play the number 10 well.

 

I think I would prefer Hacksa in a number 10 role. Certainly more centrally. He's far better on the ball than any of our wingers but doesn't have the speed to go by players. I'd like to see him in an advanced central role with Abada, Jota and Kyogo moving around in front of him. I reckon he would have plenty of assists.

 

Another one that put in a decent shift and performance. Very good from him today

 

Yes, good shift, always seems to keep possession well, looks like Ange keeping Abada fresh for the knuckle draggers.

 

Another game against them where he went missing and was * shocking, him and Juranovic should be ashamed of that performance.

Never ever start against them again.

 

Should never step on the pitch against them again. Two goals and probably two or three good performances against them in 11/12 years.

Awful

 

We've known for about a decade he usually doesn't turn up vs them. Crazy decision from Ange.
