Celtic winger James Forrest has scored 11 goals so far this season for Brendan Rodgers’ side.

Celtic winger James Forrest has insisted to the Scotsman that he is not going to give Moussa Dembele or Leigh Griffiths any stick about being ahead of them in scoring charts any time soon.

Forrest has netted 11 goals across all competitions this term, which puts him ahead of both the Celtic strikers.

But Forrest admits that he is expecting to be caught up in the scoring charts by the strike duo in the near future.

“No chance,” Forrest said. “With the number of goals they will score, I’m not saying anything to them! When they play, they are always a goal threat.”

Dembele and Griffiths are actually both facing question marks over their futures at Celtic, ahead of the January transfer window.

Dembele admitted earlier this week that he did not know quite how much longer he would be at Celtic.

Griffiths, meanwhile, has slipped down the pecking order at Parkhead, and now appears to be third choice striker.

Griffiths has fallen behind Edsonne Odouard in Brendan Rodgers’ selection order, after the PSG youngster scored a hat-trick recently.

Celtic are next in action on Sunday, when they come up against Hearts.
