James Forrest wrote another piece of Celtic history against St Mirren yesterday.

Just when the Celtic legend couldn’t accomplish any more at the club, Forrest popped up with a Trophy Day goal that made Celtic Park erupt.

Celtic’s most decorated player rescued a draw against St Mirren after Forrest popped up in the 94th-minute to put on a finale that only fairy tales are made of.

And when Forrest’s goal hit the back of the St Mirren net, how did the Celtic winger really feel afterwards?

James Forrest was ‘buzzing’ at Celtic goal vs St Mirren, but that’s not the whole story

The feeling to score that goal in front of 60,000 Celtic supporters and the reaction after it must be something Forrest has never experienced before.

But as it looked like the iconic goal was never coming, how did Forrest really feel once the aftermath of the Celtic equaliser calmed down?

Forrest told BBC Sport Scotland, “I don’t think you could have written it any better.

“Everyone has been wanting me to score and get the record, so I’m just happy to do it for everyone.

“It’s hard to put it into words. I’m just trying to enjoy every last minute of playing for Celtic. It’s been an unbelievable career and I’ve absolutely loved it and I hope I still have a few big moments and trophies like this.

“When you get days like this, it just makes you want more.”

Asked how he felt when the ball hit the net, he replies: “Relief. I was just buzzing.”
