James Forrest has signed a new contract that will extend his stay at the club for another year.

Forrest is Celtic’s most-decorated player and has made a real impact under Martin O’Neill in recent weeks.

He came off the bench to provide an assist in the Scottish Cup semi-final win against St Mirren and the winger now is almost definitely going to retire at Celtic Park with this new deal.

“While I’m still playing I can hopefully keep contributing and helping the team when I can and I’m just going to give it everything until I finish. When I do stop, I will look back on so many great memories, but hopefully I can make a few more before I do finish.”
