    Made a mess of the free kick I thought, the save on the second half, whether it was on target or not, was sublime.

    Yeah and ah he got down very quickly to actually make the save. Don't think Gordon and maybe even Bain would've made it and then it's 1-1. He palmed it into danger yes but don't think there was too much else he could do at that speed but atleast he palmed it into someone offside so he did his part with the initial save I feel

    Free kick save was poor and a bit of rustiness.

    The second one was classic Forster. A really good signing from Lennon and I'm confident we will sign him permanently.

    As Keano said, I thought it was * poor that he palmed it straight into danger again.

    That was the type of thing Bain and Gordon would have done. Hopefully just lacking match sharpness.

    Didn't think there was too much else at the time. If I rewatch it maybe but it was a well struck free with pace on it so I think just to make the save was enough (which it was) hard to direct it away with yer palm when it's coming at that pace I thought at the time he just tried get his hands to it

    He was in no mans land for second goal, poor decision making

    Looked quite rusty so far, but just has something about him that makes you feel so much more confident compared to the likes of Gordon or Bain. He's just a big presence and a great shot stopper most of the time.

    I cant see us signing him permanently again....(although I doubted we'd sign him permanently the first time). He's a loan signing that will have little sell on profitablity if we do sign him. Thats a big turn off for Lawell. Only reason he forked out the £9m to get Edouard here permanently was that he was young and he could punt him for more money in the future. Neither of these things are true about Forster.

    He seems to be the answer between the sticks. But as I've said before Im a total hater when it comes to loan deals. You find a great player and then you find out that our board arent interested in splashing any cash....which is usually the case....and they pack up and head back to England

    FF: "It’s good to be back. It just feels like I’ve never been away really, I’ve hit the ground running."

    FF: "We got off to a great start in the league, a couple of indifferent results there and it’s been a wake up call. It’s all about how we react, what we learn, how we build on that and how we turn that into wins."

    FF: "We're playing at home and we want to go out and play as well as we can. We’ve obviously dropped points the last two games but we’re very much looking to go out and give a good reaction."

    FF: "It’s only kind of been today by the time all the lads are back and have done their recovery, so we look forward to getting to work again. We look forward to tomorrow, you can’t change the past and we hope to put it right tomorrow."

    FF on racism in football: "It’s 2019 and we shouldn’t have to deal with that behaviour. It’s so disappointing. There’s no place for it in life so we’ll see what punishment gets handed out. It needs stamped out."

    FF: "We have a fantastic group of lads in the changing room and as a group we really want to succeed. That’s still the way it is."

    Rogic will forever be in his debt.

    2 absolutely amazing saves in that second half.

    Saves like that are what separates outstanding keepers from good keepers.

    I like Bain but it's those pivotal, huge saves that he needs to make to become the Celtic keeper long-term.
