It has been another successful season for Celtic under the stewardship of Brendan Rodgers.
But there is one more huge game to go, with Celtic preparing for their Scottish Cup final showdown against Aberdeen on Saturday at Hampden.
One man who will be flying high is Celtic’s record-breaker, James Forrest, after his historical moment against St Mirren over the weekend.
Forrest came off the bench for the final match of the season, after starting and producing a Man of the Match display against Aberdeen days before at Pittodrie, to score for the 16th consecutive league season.
Just put the goal aside for a minute, ever since the 33-year-old has returned from injury, he has looked fantastic out wide and like his old self.
So, does Rodgers have a decision to make as to who starts on the right flank against Aberdeen?
Should James Forrest start for Celtic against Aberdeen?
If Forrest does come into the XI, then it’s going to be for Nicolas Kuhn, who was hauled off just before the hour mark against St Mirren.
On his day, Kuhn starts every day of the week, but once again, he was off-colour for the final game of the season.
But despite all of that, Michael Stewart told Premier Sports that he would ‘keep’ Forrest ‘on the bench’, and how he still has a ‘big part’ to play for Celtic.
“I think he will probably keep him on the bench, and have him as a potential impact coming off the bench,” said Stewart. “It’s what I think.
“I think he will have a big part to play. I do, but I think he will be on the bench.”
Celtic fans’ ‘passion’ after Forrest’s record-breaking goal
It’s a moment many will remember for a long time, because of how it came about and everything behind it all.
Many would have felt that the moment had passed, it wasn’t going to happen, but then, in the dying moments of the match, and with Celtic losing, Forrest popped up for his historic moment against St Mirren.
Stewart described it as a ‘fairytale moment’, and how you could see ‘the passion’ in the faces of the Celtic Park supporters when that ball hit the back of the net.
“It couldn’t have panned out any better,” said Stewart. “It’s a fairytale moment, because, as you said, for the last few weeks, he has been trying.
“Okay, if he scored, it could have been in a game where it was already two or three-nil. There wasn’t any meaning or context.
“But, for that, staring defeat in the build-up to the cup final. Getting close to full-time. You could see the passion in the supporters as well. It was a massive goal to get the point and not have a defeat at home in the last home game.
“But, most importantly, for James Forrest to get that 16th season in a row in the league for him to score, brilliant.”
