His attitude has turned around totally. He gives everything he has now - no matter how things are going. Marked contrast to recent seasons. I should question why a Celtic player would give less than his best in any situation but ,as my ethics go out the window when it comes to my team , I will content myself with the great improvement in a player I had given up on some time ago. |

He's playing better in parts, but as he's been so utterly garbage for the past few years, some people are going overboard with the praise when he does well. He's having a good run of form for now so enjoy it while it lasts |

Mackay-Steven at his best was not and never would have been as good as Forrest at his best. Forrest had six months left on his deal. No harm in letting Rodgers have a go with him. The last manager made a pig's ear of it. |

I'd also add in constantly playing him out of position. |

As much as people go overboard that he's been garbage for years! As for the shampooebag comment he's one of those players who's constantly kicked with no protection from the refs. |

2015/16 - 33 games, 2 goals, 2 assists. 2016/17 - 13 games, 4 goals, 3 assists. Massive improvement. He's been excellent this season so far. |

If you go back to this thread from last year there were numerous folk giving him pelters despite the fact he was clearly one of our best players through the Cl qualifiers and early season games. Some people can't see through their pig-Heided anger. Edited by ssmith81, 23 Sep 2016, 06:06 AM.

Starting to look like the player he should have been since his breakthrough season. Injuries and attitude have hampered his progress. Nothing else. |

Well according to some managers who told him never to shoot with the outside of his foot

I know Remy is adamant but surely he was encouraged to use less outside of the foot shots rather than outright banned. A decision like that wouldn't look out of place in the Sunday leagues. |

I knew there was a decent player lurking within him. Glad to see it starting to come out regularly under Brendan.

We all have our favourite players and if we're honest, have a tendency to overlook certain shortcomings they have. That's football and it's natural. I liked Forrest when he first broke through. He was fast, direct, had defenders, frightened of his pace, doubling up to try and stop him. He scored some cracking goals cutting inside onto his left foot. Injury took its toll, he missed an awful lot of football and inevitably his form dipped. I could live with that but he developed an attitude, became lazy and made little or no impact for long enough. These players are paid a mint compared to the average working man and for any player not to put it all in is unaccceptable. Forrest was by no means the only one under Deila but that's not the point. Deila, for all his faults, at least realised Forrest needed a tailored rehabilitation programme and the player has hopefully put his persistent injury woes behind him. In comes BR and he's been able to turn the form of more players than Forrest around. Attitude wise he's turned a corner too and is covering more ground, tracking back etc than I've ever seen from him. I really hope he stays injury free and continues to put in a shift on the pitch. I've got my favourite players and Forrest isn't one of them but it's great to see one of our players heading the right way again after such a long time when he only showed flashes of what he's all about when on his game. |

We can go round in circles if you want, Forrest wasn't on form and he had 2 years left on his deal when GMS signed, over his first 18 months at Celtic GMS was far better than Forrest at the time. |

'Far better' is stretching it. Mackay-Steven was rotten for most of last season after his dead cat bounce when he signed. There never has or ever will be the prospect of him being good enough. Which is why the manager tried to offload him. |

As I said before he had a run of ten games where he scored or assisted, so rotten is really stretching it. If you think Forrest was better than him over the previous 18 months then I think you're mental, but fair enough, let the revisionism begin, I'm just happy he's playing well.
