Some Celtic fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to James Forrest being available for the game against Rangers at Ibrox this weekend.

Celtic will take on Rangers away from home at Ibrox in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday.

This ie the final Old Firm derby of the season, and although Celtic have nothing to play for except pride, the Gers have a very good reason to at least avoid defeat.

Steven Gerrard’s side, who won the Scottish Premiership title back in March, are still unbeaten in the league.

The Gers will be determined to go the entire season in the league without suffering a defeat and will be keen on avoiding a loss in the Old Firm derby.

Celtic have received a huge boost ahead of the Old Firm derby, with interim-manager John Kennedy saying that James Forrest is available for the match.

The 29-year-old winger has had injury problems this season and has not been able to make a huge impact for the Bhoys.

The Scotland international winger is fit again, and Kennedy has said that he is ready to play against Rangers at Ibrox on Sunday.

BBC Sport quotes Kennedy as saying about Forrest: “He has missed two games but he is back fit again and there is no worries with him going forward.”

Some Celtic fans have given their take on Twitter on Forrest’s availability for the match against Rangers.
