    Was poor, but the last 20 minutes looked like he put the boots on right feet and everything came off for him.

    Better after though and grabbed an assist..

    He's definitely having a McGregor of last season, since about October he has down tools work rate wise. Definitely fatigued and unable to put in the running he used to. Last season and the 2 before that he was a machine and tireless energy playing like a winger and right-back combined, now he's doing half a job and conserving energy.

    A pity Frimpong has been injured as we could be resting him now in the 3-5-2.

    Good for the goal but another poor performance, needs someone to compete for that rw position.

    Another good shift and assist from the Right Wing Back. If that was Frimpong, he'd be receiving tons of praise!

    I was happy to see him on the right tonight but have to say he looked off form.

    I thought it was a pretty abject performance for the most part, better for the assist. Pulling out of tackles and giving the ball away easily, I think he’ll be dropped for Frimpong once he’s fit.

    It’s so frustrating to see him like this when everyone knows his capabilities.

    I thought he was poor for most of the game tbh, really think he could do with a few games oot.

    I think the trouble with Forrest at right wing back is he'll do the running and tracking but he wont do much defensively like going into tackles and being aggressive, where as Frimpong would be but then attacking wise Frimpong doesn't have the end product like Forrest yet.

    He was great the last 2 matches though, that's 3 games with 3 assists and 2 goals.

    I thought he was terrible until he picked out mcgregor for the goal.
    Really bad use of the ball otherwise and motherwell seemed to have a bit of joy down his side, albeit he isnt a rwb

    That's some record, just watching highlights that was some take down for the Klimala chance.

    Just think, right now, his best contributions come towards the end of games. Would start Christie against Diets, give Jamasie a wee rest, maybe have him on bench.

    Quiet early on but brilliant for the winning goal and the sitter Edouard missed.

    Does it count as an assist for McGregors goal since he was the last Celtic player to hit it before him?

    Brilliant set up play from Forrest. Showing his class once again as he has year after year for Celtic.

    Not his best performance but set up the winner with his vision so canny argue with that.

    The best players in the world are lauded for making contributions even when not playing well. Forrest is one of those guys. He frustrates because we have seen him do it 1000 times and you just expect it out of him. Bhoy will be remember as a Celtic great. No matter how much i shout at him, i never mean it. * bless ye son. * keep ye safe!
