James Forrest is an important player for Celtic.

David Provan has suggested in The Scottish Sun that Celtic winger James Forrest does not fully know just how good he is.

The former Celtic and Scotland international winger has spoken highly of Forrest, who was recently named PFA Scotland’s Scottish Premiership Player of The Year.

Provan wrote about Forrest in The Scottish Sun: “Congrats to James Forrest after the Celtic winger landed the PFA Scotland Player of the Year award. It’s one hell of a thrill getting the recognition of fellow pros.

“Forrest has everything a wide player needs. And when he finally realises how talented he is, the sky will be the limit.”

Quality footballer

Forrest is one of the best wingers in the Scottish Premiership and has been superb for Celtic this season.

According to BBC Sport, the 27-year-old winger has scored 11 goals and provided nine assists in the Scottish Premiership for the Hoops this season.

The Scotland international has been on the books of Celtic since 2002, and has won the league title eighth times, and the Scottish Cup and the Scottish League Cup on four occasions each.

Forrest has been linked with moves away from Celtic, with The Scottish Sun claiming of Liverpool’s interest in the winger in January 2019 and The Times reporting that Leicester City want the £10 million-valued Scotsman in the summer transfer window.
