Scott Sinclair has raved about his Celtic teammate James Forrest in the Daily Record.

Forrest has been Celtic’s most in form player in recent weeks, with the winger scoring with great frequency.

Forrest has hit seven goals in seven games for Celtic, and is arguably enjoying the best spell of form of his career.

And Sinclair admits that the Scottish international is a threat to any opposition side that Celtic take on.

And the £3 million signing from Aston Villa (the Guardian) said: “James is brilliant. He’s so quick with his feet and when he beats that first man they’re not catching him.

“He’s so quick, he can just drive past him and get a good cross in.

“He was brilliant against Leipzig and he’s heading to Scotland in good form.

“Even at international level he takes some stopping.

“To be honest I don’t think there are many defences anywhere that can stop him when he’s at full pelt.”

Forrest has always threatened to become a huge threat at Parkhead, but his consistency has been lacking previously.

The 27-year-old often showed flashes of quality as a youngster, without putting together top performances on a regular basis.

Under Brendan Rodgers, Forrest has been allowed to flourish though, and he finally is fulfilling his potential.

Forrest’s next chance to impress for Celtic is likely to come in two weekends’ time, when Rodgers’ side take on Hamilton.
