    Forrest and CalMac have a way to go to get into top 10 on list.
    Forrest needs 103 more games and CalMac needs 134 to reach 10th on list and will reach 600 matches in doing say equalling Bobby Evan’s.
    Forrest could reach 600 end of next season and CalMac halfway through season 2026/27

    If CalMac plays every game from now then it’s possible that he could reach his 500th match in last match of Champions League league phase in January.
    It depends on what happens with Celtic in league cup because it means 2 league games will have to be changed as they clash with league cup games.

    Next week against the huns at Celtic Park, if picked Forrest will make his 500th
    Appearance for Celtic and he will be only the 18th Celtic player to do that in history of club.
    Hope the GB have plans for a tribute to Forrest.

    Calmac feels like he should have more even with it being that much, he went through 4 seasons or something playing a mad amount. Some achievement from the two though

    If Forrest plays another 7 games he will equal Mr Celtic the Late Great Tommy Burns.
    Cal Mac at same time will draw level with Peter Grant.

    Apart from McGrory I would have loved to have seen Patsy Gallagher especially his famous goal where he trapped the ball between his feet and rolled into the net.

    Have you got stats for all the Celtic keepers such as appearances, trophies, clean sheets and even if they scored any goals.

    Same, that 'sommersault' goal in the 1925 Scottish Cup Final would've been something special to witness.

    Is there something in particular you're looking for?

    Not really.
    Just looking for the stats especially who had best clean sheet record against deadco in all competitions.
    Actually, I will check the stats book although it will take me a while to post the results.

    If he can make this season and next fairly injury free Greg Taylor can join the list.

    Just started a spreadsheet to set up stats for Celtic goalkeeper clean sheets per season
    Will be total matches played, total clean sheets per keeper, total clean sheets per keeper against Deadco

    Just a little fact.
    Last Celtic keeper to have a clean sheet against Deadco was Fraser Forster in 3-0 win.

    Started doing clean sheet list.
    Thought maximum amount of keepers in a season would be 2.
    Turns out we used 4 keepers in 1891/92 season.
    Already getting eye strain
