The 2019-20 season saw Forrest score 16 times in all competitions, while assisting 22 times too. In the Premiership, the Scotland international contributed to 27 goals in 28 games (via Transfermarkt).
These are impressive numbers from the 28-year-old and could explain why so many Celtic fans are raving about him.
What do we think?
Forrest has been playing in the club’s first-team since the 2009-10 season. In total, he has scored 89 goals and has assisted 92 times in 395 appearances for the Parkhead side (via Transfermarkt).
This shows how important a player he has been for the club over the years. And it proves why Celtic fans have high praise for him.
