Celtic winger James Forrest was unfortunate not to get any action for Scotland.
Celtic travel to St Mirren in the league on Friday night, as they look to close the gap on early table toppers Hearts.
Manager Brendan Rodgers has his squad back together after the international break and a number of them played for their respective nations.
James Forrest was one of the Celtic stars called up to represent Scotland, but was an unused substitute in a friendly defeat against Belgium and a Nations League win over Albania.
The 5ft 7in ace was snubbed by Scottish manager Alex McLeish and it seems strange that he failed to get on the pitch in either game given his performances in recent weeks.
He should now have extra motivation going into the Bhoys clash away at St Mirren and will be looking to prove his qualities.
Forrest, 27, has been one of Celtic’s best players so far this season and is a regular starter in Brendan Rodgers’ XI.
The right-winger has tremendous pace and trickery, something that has already seen him chip in with six assists in just 12 games this season for the Scottish champions.
He is likely to continue playing a vital role under Rodgers and the wide man should feel fresh going into the upcoming league fixture, while others are still looking to get up to full speed.
