James Forrest is playing well for Brendan Rodgers’s Celtic at the moment.
James McFadden has spoken highly of Celtic winger James Forrest to The Glasgow Evening Times.
The Scotland assistant head coach has been impressed with the progress that Forrest has made in recent months.
McFadden told The Glasgow Evening Times: “I think his [Forrest’s] maturity is there for all to see. Certainly in the last six months, and I know he has scored goals before, he is getting into the box a lot more.
“I think when you are playing as a wide man you don’t always need to touch the ball to affect the game. He does look after it. If you are making good movements and getting into the box your first touch is your last touch and it’s a goal.
“You don’t always have to take people on. So he has got an intelligence to play the position. It is there for all to see and hopefully we will get the benefit of that.”
Quality footballer
Forrest is one of the best wingers in the Scottish Premiership, and the Scotland international is playing well for Celtic at the moment.
The 27-year-old winger has made 22 starts and two substitute appearances in the Scottish Premiership for Rangers so far this season, scoring nine goals in the process, according to WhoScored.
Title defence
Celtic are going strong in the Scottish Premiership at the moment and are favourites to clinch the championship yet again this season.
Brendan Rodgers’s side are as many as eight points clear of second-placed and bitter Old Firm rivals Rangers, and it is hard to see the Hoops collapse in the final months of the campaign.
The winger has progressed well in recent years, and given that he is 27 years of age, he can still get better in the coming years.
