James Forrest has been tipped to be a key player for double-chasing Celtic in their remaining games - and give the Scotland manager a headache ahead…
intelligence and vast experience will prove invaluable to Celtic during the final cinch Premiership games of the season and tipped the winger to have a major influence on the Scottish title race.internationalist believes Forrest has, despite not playing for his country since the Euro 2020 defeat to the Czech Republic at Hampden in 2021, a good chance of forcing his way into the national squad for the Euro 2024 finals in Germany this summer if he does so.
Burke feels Forrest, who has won 22 major honours during the 14 years that he has spent playing for Celtic, will continue to be a danger man for Brendan Rodgers’ men in the remainder of the 2023/24 campaign even though he lacks the explosiveness he had when he was younger.“He will have a huge influence,” he said. “It is great that he has come back in. I played in a similar position to him so I know he is an intelligent footballer. He doesn’t really rely on his pace.
“I am delighted for him because he has a difficult year or so for the last year or so. I think that maybe he didn’t fit the system that Postecoglou played. But he is currently showing what a good footballer he is.
“He does offer something a little bit different to what the rest do and he offers experience. The ones who have been picked have done well, but I do think James offers something a little bit different to the rest of the wingers.”We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
