COMMENTARY
When a team are not performing to the best of their capabilities it sometimes takes a moment of magic to spark them into life and it was James Forrest who did just that with a sublime strike for Celtic against Hibernian on Saturday evening. In what was a scrappy clash lacking much quality, the winger showed exactly why he is rated as one of the best wide men in Scotland and unleashed a beauty which found its way into the back of the opposition net. The fans were left drooling with what they saw and it is not the first time he has stolen the limelight for his performance. It is players like him who are why the Hoops are chasing another domestic treble, with moments of quality which not only make him shine above all others but get their side the result they need by hook or by crook. Another day to celebrate for the Hoops faithful and Forrest’s strike will live long in the memory. Goal of the season contender? Quite possibly – but you know the player himself will be happy just to make it to the semi-finals.
