    A success from our academy who has played his part in the winning of numerous trophies and winning some big games. Sadly on the decline now but * knows why some feel the need to give him a hard time. Injuries appear to have taken there toll.

    That amounts to 8 goals and 8 assists per year, In a team where we had a run of winning every trophy in Scotland any winger worth their salt would have done quite easily. Look at Abada into double figures already, half a season play 4 more seasons like that and he's getting the same stats. Will that make him a celtic legend too? Servant for a club is one thing, legend is a complete other. He's done nothing to deserve that acclaim.

    I never said he was a legend? Celtic great…he is though. If Forrest did 30 goals 30 assists every year for us he’d be away. Spurs wanted him after his best season with us. It’s not even a question really with his trophies and stats for us; he will go down as a great

    maybe in your eyes but in many others he's * poor. Can't cross, zero tricks, no football intelligence just had pace. Like I said still at celtic because it's an easy wage and doesn't really need to try.

    He’s been one of my favourite players over the years …

    His medal haul is enough to price his worth in that time.. but just not there this season.

    Right now… he is not the ‘in form’ Forrest in our league.

    He does have football intelligence, that's just not true at all man. Also you do not need tricks to be a brilliant footballer.

    Many players have come to us for an “easy wage” and been found out and punted frequently. He is and has been a class player, who unfortunately plays best at full confidence. Which I’m not sure why our homegrown players get more pelters when out of form compared to how foreign imports would be treated

    Actually disgusts me to read some of the * written on here, by so called Celtic fans. Things like calling him a shitbag etc.

    People calling him a has been are very forgetful ffs. How many times have people wrote him off because of injuries over the years? Its mental. Hes been a great player for us over the years. Wasnt so long ago he was banging them in for Scotland, as hes done for us over the years. Important goals. Hes not finished yet

    The utter hatred for him among some of our support is one of the most bizarre things ever.

    Decent when he came on but dunno if we have just lowered the bar because he hasn't been very good the last wee while.
    Pleased for him anyway.

    Out of all the horrific stuff going on in the world, that disgusts you?

    The guy never shows for the ball when we are struggling. Completely static and hides behind the opposition full back. Constantly passes back the way.

    When he gets it in a dangerous position he regularly rejects easy passes to team mates in better positions, in the hope he can get a shot away. Dilly dallies on it all the time causing our attacks to slow down.

    If people who watch Celtic every week, some of whom pay good money for the privilege, want to call Forrest a shitebag then it’s not the end of the world.

    Particularly when it’s often true.
