James Forrest continues to shine as Celtic’s key player, scoring a crucial double to keep Brendan Rodgers’ team at the top of the table. The title race is heating up and Forrest’s performance has been invaluable in securing important wins for the club.
Despite his recent success, there have been discussions about Forrest’s playing time under Ange Postecoglou. Former manager Billy Dodds suggested that Postecoglou didn’t rate Forrest, citing his lack of game time during that period. However, looking at the context of Ange’s tenure, it becomes clear that he had a strong lineup of wingers to choose from, including Daizen Maeda, Jota, and Liel Abada, all of whom had impressive stats.
Ange played Forrest 54 times during his time at Celtic, showing his appreciation for the winger’s talent. Injuries may have hindered Forrest’s playing time under Postecoglou, but it is evident that the current manager values his contributions to the team.
As the season draws to a close, Forrest’s importance to Celtic cannot be understated. Fans are hopeful that he will continue to deliver crucial moments on the pitch as the title race reaches its climax.
